Atletico Madrid will target Aston Villa and France full-back Lucas Digne, 31, if they do not sign Scotland and Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, 31.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have made contact with Aston Villa over the signing of their French international full-back Lucas Digne, 30.

Aston Villa are close to completing the signing of Lucas Digne from Everton, who have inquired about taking Anwar El Ghazi on loan for the rest of the season.

Aston Villa are in advanced negotiations to sign Everton's 28-year-old France defender Lucas Digne, who is understood to favour a move to Steven Gerrard's side.

Chelsea are considering a move for Barcelona and United States full-back Sergino Dest, 21, as an alternative to Lucas Digne who they have been closely linked with.
