Aston Villa and Manchester United have both been linked with a move for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria.

And, according to Goal, relayed by The AVFC Faithful, the Switzerland international could leave for as little as €6m (£5m) this month, with a number of Villa fans responding to the update on social media.

Zakaria, valued at £24.3m by Transfermarkt, has six months remaining on his deal with Monchengladbach, meaning he could pen a pre-contract agreement with a Premier League side right now ahead of a summer move.

However, Johan Lange and co appear to be after a holding midfielder immediately with Marvelous Nakamba sidelined, and reports have suggested Zakaria could be available due to his precarious contract situation.

The 25-year-old has made 16 appearances this season, taking his Monchengladbach tally to 144, but it seems as if he may not hit the 150 mark following the recent update.

Villa fans react

This is what these Villa supporters had to say in reply to The AVFC Faithful’s post, with many urging the club to swoop and one labelling a €6m fee as ‘a steal’.
