Aston Villa stepping up interest in Nicolas Raskin

Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin from Rangers in the summer transfer window.

.According to a report from TEAMtalk, Aston Villa are stepping up their efforts to sign Nicolas Raskin, and they are preparing an official approach for the midfielder. The Rangers midfielder is valued at £25 million, and it will be interesting to see if the West Midlands club can get the deal done.

Aston Villa need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Raskin would be a solid acquisition. The 24-year-old has shown his ability in Scotland, and he has physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football as well.

The opportunity to join Aston Villa could be quite exciting for him. It would be a major step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself in English football. The reported £25 million asking price is affordable for a club with Aston Villa’s resources. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Rangers will not want to lose a key player like Nicolas Raskin, but they could be powerless to stop him from leaving if Aston Villa decide to meet the asking price. The Villans will be looking to compete in European football regularly, and they need a formidable squad with more depth. Signing another midfielder would be a wise decision for them.

Raskin could fancy a move

Nicolas Raskin is unlikely to need any convincing to join the West Midlands club. The Villans have talented players at their disposal and a top-quality manager like Unai Emery. They were competing in the UEFA Champions League last season.

Aston Villa have an ambitious project, and they will be an attractive destination for the player. It will be interesting to see if Villa will come forward with an official proposal in the coming weeks. A £25 million move could look like a bargain in the long term if the Rangers midfielder manages to adapt to the Premier League quickly and hit the ground running.

Aston Villa should look to add more depth to their attacking unit as well. If they can bring in the right additions this summer, they might be able to push for UEFA Champions League qualification next year and do well in the domestic trophies as well.
