Aston Villa suffer blow in their pursuit of South American defender

Aston Villa are looking to improve their defensive unit and they have identified Wesley as a target.

The Flamengo defender has impressed with his performances for the Brazilian club and Aston Villa submitted an offer of around €15 million earlier this week. As per Vene Casagrande , Flamengo have turned down the offer, and it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa come forward with an improved offer to sign the player.

The 21-year-old right-back could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for the West Midlands club.
