Aston Villa's Lucas Digne attracting Saudi Arabia interest
Villa defender Lucas Digne has become the latest target of Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal.
Reports last night claimed Al Hilal, who signed Ruben Neves for £47million from Wolves earlier in the summer, are considering an approach with the left-back’s future the subject of some scrutiny.
Digne joined Villa from Everton for £25million in January last year but found himself playing second fiddle to Alex Moreno during the final months of last season.
The latter is currently out with a hamstring injury and not expected back until next month, meaning Villa may be hesitant to lose Digne at this point, even though new signing Pau Torres can play at left-back if required.
Digne played 70 minutes last night as Villa continued pre-season with a 3-0 win over Lazio at Poundland Bescot Stadium.
