Aston Villa want to sign Argentine forward Matias Soule, 23, from Roma after the conditions for 27-year-old Dutch winger Donyell Malen's loan move from the Midlands side to the Italian club to turn into a permanent switch were triggered.

Leicester have made an improved £21m bid for Juventus winger Matias Soule, 21, and hope to wrap up a deal for the Argentine next week.

Juventus attacker Matias Soule is a prominent target for Leicester as they seek to re-establish themselves in the Premier League.

Leicester City have made an offer of £21m and £4m in add-ons for Argentina attacking midfielder Matias Soule, 21, but that is not enough for Juventus, who want at least a guaranteed £25m.

Southampton will try to sign Argentine forward Matias Soule from Juventus if they are promoted to the Premier League, while Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also interested in the 20-year-old.
