Everton defender Lucas Digne has reportedly fallen out with manager Rafael Benitez and he is looking to leave the club before the January transfer window closes.
The 28 year old is undoubtedly one of the best players at the club and his departure will come as a massive blow for the Toffees who are already having a difficult season.
Digne has been a star for Everton since his move from Barcelona and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for most Premier League clubs.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Aston Villa have now begun advanced negotiations to sign the player from the Merseyside outfit and the Frenchman is open to joining Steven Gerrard’s side.
