Aston Villa move for Suzuki as Martínez nears exit

Aston Villa are preparing for goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez's potential exit by accelerating a move for Parma's Zion Suzuki, as Juventus revive interest in the Argentina No 1.

Aston Villa are advancing a deal to sign Suzuki as the Argentina No 1's replacement. The 33-year-old Martínez, who is under contract until 2029, is increasingly likely to depart after six seasons at the club. Villa dismissed an earlier offer from Juve but the Serie A club have revisited a move, also monitoring Ederson and Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario. newsindata.com

PSG have signed Spain's Ferran Torres from Barcelona, while Djed Spence has completed a move to Inter from Spurs. Suzuki was poised to join PSG this week but the Champions League winners pulled out of a deal worth about €35m (£30m).
