Report: Aston Villa submit bid for Copenhagen defender Victor Nelsson

Aston Villa are looking to bring in another defender before the window closes, and they are in pole position to sign Copenhagen defender Victor Nelsson.

This has been an excellent transfer window for Villa, with Dean Smith adding four very good players including Ollie Watkins from Brentford on a club-record transfer fee.

They have also added a solid goalkeeper in Emiliano Martinez from Arsenal, while right-back Matty Cash joined from Nottingham Forest.

According to reports from Danish publication Ekstrabladet, the Premier League side are one of several teams showing keen interest in signing Nelsson.
