Report: Aston Villa plotting £10m move for Rennes forward Paul-Georges Ntep

Aston Villa are reportedly eyeing a move for Rennes forward Paul-Georges Ntep.

The Villans are on the lookout for a new frontman following the sale of Christian Benteke, and the Daily Star suggests that Tim Sherwood has identified the £10m forward as his man to fill the void.

The same report states that Ntep wants to represent a club playing in Europe, but Villa appear keen to present their ambitions to the player following the signings of Idrissa Gueye, Jordan Amavi and a proposed move for Jordan Ayew.

West Ham United and Stoke City are also thought to be keen on Ntep.
