Villa signed the 30-year-old left-back from Everton in January 2022, but the player has failed to impress Unai Emery.

 

Digne has been strongly linked with leaving Aston Villa in the ongoing summer transfer window.

 

 

 

Nice are leading the race for the Frenchman’s signature and want to take him on a season-long loan with an option to buy.

 

Aston Villa and Nice have been talking about Digne and, according to French daily the Nice-Matin, both clubs have reached an agreement.

 

 

However, it has been suggested that Aston Villa will not let Digne leave until they find a replacement for him.

 

Villa have been heavily linked with Sevilla’s Marcos Acuna, but they have failed to agree a deal for him.

 

 

It has been suggested that the Midlands outfit are now looking into Arsenal’s Nuno Tavares as an alternative to Acuna.
