According to reports from the Express and Star, Aston Villa are set to launch a bid for Southampton left-back Matt Targett in the summer transfer window.
The Villans have completed as many as five signings – Jota, Anwar El Ghazi, Harry McKirdy, Wesley Moraes and Kortney Hause – this summer, but Dean Smith is still looking to bring in further six new faces.
Villa are looking to bolster their defensive options and have earmarked the 23-year-old left-back as one of their defensive targets this summer.
The report claims that the newly promoted Premier League side are now ready to firm up their interest with a formal offer of around £8million.
