Aston Villa have made a move as they look to acquire the services of 26-year-old defender Pau Torres amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are keen on having Pau Torres in their ranks and have approached Villarreal as they look to acquire his services. The 26-year-old defender’s future at the Spanish club is uncertain, and he could be on the move in the summer.

Torres has come up the ranks at Villarreal and established himself as the mainstay of their defence. The Spain international has featured in 173 matches for their senior team and has 17 goal contributions.

As far as the ongoing season is concerned, the 26-year-old has been involved in 39 matches and has also scored a goal. He has been a rock in their defence for quite a few years now. But it seems his time at the Spanish club is about to end.

Torres’s contract at the club runs until the summer of 2024. While the Yellow Submarine are keen on extending it, the player has not put pen to paper and they might be forced to listen to offers in the summer.

Emery is now focused on the transfer window as he looks to bolster his squad in order to take the next step. The Spanish manager is keen on adding a new centre-back and he wants to bring Torres to the club. The Aston Villa boss has worked with the 26-year-old back in the day and believes he will be a great fit for the club. As a result, they have contacted Villarreal over a possible transfer.
