According to The Telegraph, the newly promoted side have agreed on a fee of £14m rising to £17m for Targett.
The 23-year-old could prove to be a solid addition for Villa next season. They needed to improve their full-back positions and Targett has the talent to develop into a reliable left back.
He would be an upgrade on Neil Taylor for sure.
The Southampton defender is a backup for Bertrand at St Mary’s and he will be open to the move to Villa Park because of the regular game time.
At this stage of his career, he needs to play every week and Aston Villa can provide him with that opportunity.
