RB Leipzig have approached Aston Villa about signing youngster Jaden Philogene-Bidace next month, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
The 18-year-old sensation has just six months left on his contract at Villa Park and could be set to leave the club in 2021.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Leipzig have been alerted to the opportunity to sign a big talent on the cheap in January and have let Villa know their interest in Philogene-Bidace.
The German club keep a keen eye on British talent with Ademola Lookman, Ethan Ampadu and Oliver Burke all lured to the Red Bull Arena in recent years.
Philogene-Bidace is one of a number of exciting talents emerging from Aston Villa’s academy this season.
The winger joined up with the first team in pre-season and appeared in a number of friendlies for Dean Smith’s side.
