Aston Villa are interested in signing Bournemouth's transfer target, Rennes defender Adrien Truffer, The Sun reports.
Bournemouth are close to a £20m deal for France international Truffaut, with the club eyeing him as a replacement for Milos Kerkes, who is expected to join Liverpool this summer.
Villa are interested in the left-back and could make a move for the 23-year-old if the club can sell other players quickly. The publication notes that Unai Emery is looking for a new left-back after Frenchman Luca Digne and Dutchman Jan Maatzen failed to impress the Spaniard.
This season, Truffaut has scored two goals and provided two assists in 33 Ligue 1 appearances as Rennes finished 12th. However, the 23-year-old has understandably struggled to make the France national team. The defender has made just one appearance for the Blues, earning his first call-up for two UEFA Nations League games.
