Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong.
According to a report from Football Insider, Aston Villa could trigger his release clause in the summer if they manage to secure Champions League qualification.
The Bundesliga defender has established himself as one of the best young fullbacks in the game and he could prove to be a quality, long-term acquisition for the West Midlands club.
There is no doubt that the Dutchman could prove to be an upgrade on Matty Cash if Aston Villa managed to sign him at the end of the season. Frimpong has already picked up 17 goal contributions this season with seven goals and 10 assists to his name.
The defender has a £35 million release clause in his contract and Aston Villa certainly have the financial means to get the deal done. The defender could even prove to be a bargain at that price if he manages to continue his development and adapt to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old is still quite young and he is only going to get better with coaching and experience.
Frimpong has been linked with other Premier League clubs as well and it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa can secure his services unopposed.
Aston Villa have shown tremendous improvement under their new manager Unai Emery and they have signed some quality players in recent months. They will need to continue improving the squad if they want to play in the Champions League in the near future.
Signing a quality fullback should be one of their priorities during the summer transfer window. They need someone who will help them improve going forward and Frimpong would certainly add a new dimension to their attack during transitions.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be an attractive option for the Bundesliga defender and he will be tempted to join Aston Villa, especially if they secure European qualification.
Aston Villa have been in outstanding this season and it remains to be seen whether they can finish the season strongly and finish in the top four.
