Aston Villa pushing to sign Toulouse prospect Jaydee Canvot | OneFootball

Aston Villa are pushing to sign Toulouse centre-back Jaydee Canvot (18), according to L’Equipe. The 18-year-old Canvot is also able to play as a defensive midfielder. The France U19 international has had a breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 side. He also featured for France last month in the Maurice-Revello tournament, which the young Bleus won under the watchful eye of many scouts from European clubs.

The Vilains have reportedly been won over by Canvot’s versatility and physicality. L’Equipe understands that they are leading the race to sign the 18-year-old French prospect. The outlet adds that Toulouse are undecided regarding their player’s future. But should Canvot leave this summer, Le Téfécé will set a €20m price tag on him, given his potential and the fact he’s under contract until 2029.
