Sevilla are to sign defender Jordan Amavi from Aston Villa on a five-year deal after having an offer accepted by the Championship outfit.

Amavi was always expected to be on the move this summer following months of speculation surrounding his future, seeing him linked with an array of European clubs.

Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco are all said to have shown an interest at one point, while owner Tony Xia claimed in January that a £25m bid from Marseille had been rejected.

After reportedly having their initial approach knocked back, Sevilla have returned with an improved offer and will now sign the full-back for an undisclosed fee should he successfully pass a medical.


Amavi has spent the past two years at Villa, making 48 appearances in all competitions for the club since joining from Nice.
