Villa now interested in signing Santos

, Nicola claims that Gerrard’s 🉐men are now interested in signing the young midfielder. But they’ll face stiff competition.

Barcelona, Lyon and Newcastle are all🔯 eyeing a possible move for Santos.

Eddie Howe’s men have apparently tabled an offer and Vasco are ⭕looking for at least £33.3 million.
