Villa close on Suzuki as Martínez eyes exit

Aston Villa are preparing for the potential exit of goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez by accelerating a move for Parma's Japan international Zion Suzuki.

Aston Villa are advancing a deal to sign Suzuki as the Argentina No 1's replacement after Juventus revived their interest in Martínez, who is open to leaving the club after six seasons. Villa previously dismissed an offer from Juve for Martínez earlier this summer. sweetbonanza-app.com

Meanwhile, PSG have completed the signing of Spain's Ferran Torres from Barcelona, while Djed Spence has moved to Inter from Spurs. Suzuki was poised to join PSG this week but the Champions League winners pulled out of a deal worth about €35m (£30m).
