Aston Villa are in talks with Arsenal over a deal for full-back Nuno Tavares as Unai Emery eyes more defensive reinforcements.

Villa secured their first three points of the new Premier League season in a 4-0 thrashing over Everton on Sunday and Tavares could be making his way to the Midlands-based club.

Tavares was targeting a potential move to Nottingham Forest before that fell through with Villa now discussing a deal with Arsenal for the 23-year-old.

Meanwhile, Villa are also interested in Sevilla defender Marcos Acuna as Emery looks to LaLiga in an attempt to bolster his squad.
