Jordan Amavi looks set to leave Aston Villa this summer, after the defender confirmed he had been placed on the transfer list.

Amavi joined Villa in the summer of 2015 before their relegation from the Premier League.

He made 34 appearances last season, but following the claret and blues' failure to win promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt, wants a move to meet his ambitions.

Amavi told French daily the Nice-Matin: "We spoke with Aston Villa, I was upfront with them, the club were in return.

"If I have to leave, there will be no problem.

"I have ambitions. I want to play in Europe, for a club that play in all the competitions.

"I've been placed on the transfer list."

The 23-year-old, who cost Villa £9m from Nice, revealed that clubs have come forward to discuss potential moves - but no concrete offers have yet been made.

Amavi is ideally seeking a switch to a Premier League club, though he's open to the idea of moving abroad.

"There are clubs that have come to enquire and we've talked, even if there is nothing concrete yet," Amavi added.

"I love the Premier League, it is the league that I like enough, but I am open to other countries.

"If the sporting challenge is interesting, I will go ahead, I won't think twice."

Amavi has been linked with a host of clubs including Liverpool, Sampdoria, Marseille, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and former outfit Nice during his time at Villa.

In December, Villa were said to have turned down a £25m bid from an unnamed club from China.
