French Journalist Claims Monaco Will Join Ligue 1 Rivals in Race for Coveted Aston Villa Defender

French journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin has claimed that Lique 1 champions Monaco have joined the race to sign highly-rated Aston Villa left-back Jordan Amavi.

The pundit, who lists CanalPlus, Eurosport and YahooSport among others as affiliates in his Twitter bio, has reportedly suggested that Amavi's industrious performances for the Midlands club have caught the eye of the French giants, who could look to bring him to Stade Louis II this summer.

YahooSportFR's official Twitter account published an exclusive via Collet-Gaudin today, claiming that the 23-year-old, who is also a target for Nice and Marseille, could be on the move to Les Rouges et Blancs next season.
