1 Carlos Sanchez [right] in action for Aston Villa

Deportivo La Coruna are lining up an offer for Aston Villa midfielder Carlos Sanchez.

The Colombian has started just 12 Premier League games so far this term and his future is uncertain, especially given Villa’s current relegation scrap.

According to Spanish news outlet Don Balon, Deportivo are ready to hand the 30-year-old a Villa Park escape route.

It has been reported that the mid-table La Liga side will make their move once the transfer window opens in the summer and reckon Sanchez would be up for a return to Spain.

The Colombia international, who has made a total of 43 Premier League appearances for Villa since 2014, spent one year at Elche before his switch to England.
