Aston Villa are finalising the loan signing of Italy international Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray.
Villa have offered a £3million loan fee with an option to buy for around £19m for the attacking midfielder.
Unai Emery's side are rapidly closing in on sealing a deal for the 24-year-old just months after he completed his move to Turkey.
Crucially, Villa sporting director Monchi has a rapport with Zaniolo, having snapped him up during his stint at Roma, and is heading up efforts to sign him again.
Zaniolo displayed promising glimpses for Galatasaray last season and scored five goals in 11 Super Lig appearances.
