Aston Villa are interested in signing the Egyptian attacker Mahmoud Trezeguet this summer.
As per the Sun, Dean Smith wants to improve his attacking options and the Egyptian attacker has caught his eye with his performances during the AFCON.
The report adds that Aston Villa will submit an £8m bid for Trezeguet this summer.
The newly-promoted side have been linked with the likes of Benrahma as well but an agreement with Brentford seems unlikely.
It seems that Trezeguet is the alternative to Benrahma.
The Egyptian scored nine goals in 29 games for the Turkish side Kasimpasa last season and he will add pace, flair and goals to Aston Villa’s attacking unit.
