, Dean Smith’s Villa are monitoring with the 25-year-old following Fulham’s relegation from the Premier League.

It is explained that the Cameroon international may be sold now if Fulham receive £20million for his signature, and Villa are looking to improve their squad for next year, which will be helped down to the fact they are in a better financial position to most.

Additionally, the report mentions both Arsenal and Everton as potential suitors for the £67,000-a-week () star as well.
