Aston Villa are preparing to launch a bid for Club Brugge playmaker, Victor Vazquez. Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo are reporting Villa’s sporting director, Hendrik Almstadt watched the 28-year old Spaniard as his side crashed out to Manchester United in the Champions League qualifying rounds.

Vazquez is a full graduate from the famous La Masia academy, but only made one first team appearance for the Spanish giants back in 2008. The former-Spanish youth international joined Belgian side, Club Brugge in 2011 and has since been in a mainstay in the De Club side.

Vazquez carries some high praise with Manchester United manager, Louis Van Gaal recently saying “He has very good vision. I like him when I have analysed him.”

Mundo Deportivo claim that the Brugge-man could be set for a move to Villa Park before the transfer window shuts next Tuesday evening. He recently told the Spanish news outlet that he wants a ‘new venture’ and that “it would be the ideal to change and face new challenges.”.
