Aston Villa are interested in signing the Antwerp defender Daniel Opare.
According to The Sun, the 28-year-old has just 12 months left on his deal and the newly promoted club are looking to bring him in.
Opare has done well for the Belgian club and he is available on a bargain. It is no surprise that Smith is interested in him.
The right-back is expected to cost around £500,000 and it could prove to be a real bargain for Aston Villa if they manage to pull it off.
Dean Smith needs to add more depth to his side and Opare would be ideal.
