Aston Villa are on the verge of completing the loan signing of Italian international forward Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray, according to reports.
Zaniolo, who has won 13 caps for his country, completed a medical at the Premier League club on Thursday and is now ready to finalise the transfer.
Fabrizio Romano reported that the attacker was 'on his way' to sign a contract with Villa on Thursday night, meaning a formal announcement of the deal should be imminent.
Former Roma man Zaniolo will arrive at Villa Park initially on loan for a fee of £3million, with Emery's side having an option to make the move permanent for £19million.
