Plenty of Aston Villa fans have been giving their thoughts to the club’s interest in Fenerbahce defender Attila Szalai on social media.

According to Hungarian outlet Blikk, relayed by Birmingham Live, Villa have joined a number of sides in the race for the 23-year-old centre-back.

Fellow Premier League sides Leicester City and Newcastle United are showing an interest, along with Italian duo Lazio and Napoli.

Szalai, who is valued at just £3.33m by Transfermarkt, would reportedly cost around £21.5m this summer.

The 6ft 3in ace only made the move to Fenerbahce back in January and has turned out on 15 occasions for his new side, scoring once.

But it seems as if the Hungary international, who can play as a centre-back or a left-back, could be on the move once again in 2021.

Villa fans react

@AVFC_News shared Birmingham Live’s report on social media on Friday regarding Szalai.

This is what these Villa supporters had to say in reply, with one describing the interest as 'great news'.
