Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the Levante midfielder Cheick Doukoure.
Apparently, the 26-year-old midfielder is close to joining the Championship club on loan for the remainder of the season.
As per Spanish journalist Eric Martin, the deal is close to completion.
Dean Smith could do with some depth in midfield and Doukoure could prove to be a wise addition.
The physically imposing midfielder should be able to adapt to English football with ease. His style of play suits the Championship as well.
Doukoure will add some much needed bite and drive to Aston Villa’s midfield.
