The club is rumoured to have had a bid approved for the Serie A winger as the January transfer window opens. This is the most recent Aston Villa transfer news.
Aston Villa have ‘reached an agreement’ with Hellas Verona for the transfer of winger Cyril Ngon, geaccording to reports in Italy.
Since joining the Serie A team in January of last year on a free transfer, the 23-year-old has been a member of the team. Since then, his performances have drawn attention; in 17 Serie A games this season, the winger has scored five goals and provided two assists.
Unai Emery is eager to assess his offensive alternatives during this transfer window. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Villa has moved to acquire the player, offering €10 million (£8.7 million), a figure that Verona has “verbally accepted.” The decision to move or not now rests with the player, and that is where the issue could exist.
report adds that Belgian, Ngonge is enjoying his time in Italy and in Serie A and would therefore prefer to stay in the Italian league. That could benefit Fiorentina who have also been linked with an interest in the player.
Sean Sogliano, the sports director of Verona, did not rule out selling the winger in the January transfer window when speaking before to the transfer window. He is a crucial player, each game is a test, and the difficulty will rise with each one, he stated.
“Everyone is aware of the current state of our club; while we want to protect ourselves, we also need to consider the needs from an administrative standpoint. Up to the transfer window, we need to focus on scoring as many points as we can. After that, we’ll see what transpires.”
Verona is currently in the top three spots in Serie A, just out of the relegation zone based on goal differential. Following a thrilling 2-0 victory against Cagliari shortly before Christmas—a match in which Ngonge scored—they suffered a devastating 1-0 setback to Salernitana in their most recent match.
