Aston Villa interest in Fernandes gets another report

Another Aston Villa link for Mateus Fernandes, and still nothing that resembles a transfer taking shape.

FootballFanCast reports that Villa are keen on the West Ham midfielder, who is also wanted by several Premier League clubs. The article offers little detail beyond that interest claim.

It does not describe an approach to West Ham, a bid or an agreement. Villa remain another name on the list.
