Aston Villa agree deal for Jordan Amavi

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign left-back Jordan Amavi from Nice.

The 21-year-old has come through the youth ranks at the Ligue 1 outfit and has established himself as a key player.

His performances have seen him linked with a move away this summer and now his club have confirmed that he will be departing for Villa Park.

Amavi, who has represented France at Under-21 level, scored four goals in 36 league games last season.
