Aston Villa prepares bid for Tottenham midfielder Pape Matar Sarr

Aston Villa is reportedly preparing a bid for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr. Manager Unai Emery seeks to strengthen the midfield following the departures of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and Amadou Onana's long-term injury. Sarr has become surplus to requirements at Spurs due to new signings, limiting his chances to play. Personal terms are expected to be agreeable, and Sarr may prefer to stay in the Premier League after a previous season with twenty starts.
