Bertrand Traore passes Aston Villa medical

Aston Villa are closing in on the signing of the Lyon attacker Bertrand Traore.

According to Nicolo Schira, the player has now passed his medical with the Premier League club and the transfer is close to completion. The player will sign a four year deal with the club.

The Villans will pay around €21 million-plus add ons for the winger this summer.

Dean Smith needed to add more pace and flair to his attack and Traore could prove to be a useful option for his side. The former Chelsea player will complete Villa’s attacking trio alongside Grealish and Watkins.
