Well I’ve got you covered again. Gazzetta dello Sport is back with another Italian language transfer rumor that has both T ottenham and Aston Villa interested in €25m-rated 26-year-old French defensive midfielder Youssouf Fofana . It’s not MUCH of a rumor, but it’s something.

Here’s the relevant paragraph, translated into Italian by the Google machine. Fofana was approached by Galatasaray and Fenerbahce back in January, but he has no interest in moving to Turkey. Instead, keep an eye on Tottenham (if they stay up) and Aston Villa — both clubs have already signaled interest to his camp.

Milan paid Monaco €25 million for him (including bonuses) and they don’t think he’s lost any value since then. If anything, the opposite. So let’s talk about this.
