Aston Villa is reportedly considering a move for Stade Rennais forward Esteban Lepaul. The potential acquisition is linked to the possibility of Ollie Watkins leaving the club.
According to L’Equipe, Aston Villa is among the clubs monitoring the progress of Esteban Lepaul, the striker currently playing for Rennes. The report indicates that Villa is evaluating potential reinforcements in the center-forward position.
The interest in Lepaul stems from the possibility that Ollie Watkins may depart from Aston Villa. The club appears to be proactively seeking a replacement should Watkins choose to leave the Birmingham-based team.
L’Equipe states that Aston Villa “could use another centre-forward with Ollie Watkins angling to leave.” This suggests that Watkins’ potential exit is the primary driver behind the club’s interest in adding another striker to their roster.
