Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Watford winger Ismaila Sarr, according to reports. The two clubs have reached an agreement on a deal worth £25million plus add-ons.

Sarr was absent from the Watford squad for their Championship clash with Preston North End on Saturday.

Hornets manager Rob Edwards suggested that the 24-year-old's omission was due to injury, but Sky Sports have reported that a move to Aston Villa has been agreed.
