Aston Villa has struck an agreement with Watford for the transfer of Ismaila Sarr, according to reports.
The Senegalese star has been with the Hornets since 2019 and they have managed to keep hold of him till now despite reported interest in his signature from the top clubs.
He was unable to stop them from getting relegated from the Premier League again last season, but he is now set to finally leave them.
Matchplug understands Villa has agreed on a deal to add him to their squad and he will return to the English top flight.
Steven Gerrard’s side has started this season poorly with one win and two losses.
They were beaten 3-1 by Crystal Palace yesterday and the former Liverpool midfielder would be keen to ensure his side gets back to form.
Sarr has been a star in the EPL and he will hope to help them get back among the hardest teams to beat in the league.
