Aston Villa join Celtic in the race to sign Harold Moukoudi

According to reports from Foot Mercato, Aston Villa are looking to sign Le Havre defender Harold Moukoudi on loan before Friday’s deadline.

West Ham reportedly wanted the 20-year-old in the summer transfer window but the deal didn’t materialise. Moukoudi stayed on and has played five Ligue 2 matches already for the club this season.

Clubs in EFL can sign players on loan, and Steve Bruce is keen to sign on a temporary basis. The Villa boss is looking to bolster his defence and has reportedly made a move for the youngster.
