Premier League giants Aston Villa are closing in on the loan signing of Italy international Nicolo Zaniolo.
The former Roma star looks set to join the English club from Galatasaray for this season.
Per The Mail, Villa have offered a 3 million loan fee to Gala, along with an option to buy for around 19 million.
Villa are very close to sealing a deal for the 24-year-old only a few months after he moved to Turkey.
What appears to have sealed the deal is a positive relationship between Monchi and Zaniolo.
Monchi, the Villa sporting director, worked with Zaniolo when he was a Roma player.
