Aston Villa are closely monitoring the progress of Rennes winger Jeremy Doku.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 21-year-old attacker has been identified as a potential alternative to Moussa Diaby, whom Villa previously attempted to sign.
However, their initial offer for the French winger was rejected by Bayer Leverkusen. The club is expected to come back with an improved offer for Diaby.
In the meantime, the Belgian international remains a viable option for the Villains, offering great potential for the long term.
Last season, he registered seven goals and four assists across all competitions, showcasing his ability to become a quality Premier League attacker.
As Unai Emery and his side prepare for European football in the upcoming season, bolstering their squad's depth and quality is a priority, with improving their attacking options being a key focus this summer.
Doku has previously been linked with a move to England, and it remains to be seen if the potential transfer materializes in the coming weeks.
