Multiple sources have confirmed that Aston Villa have officially submitted a bid for Dean Donny Huijsen. The offer for the Real Madrid defender had been speculated for a number of weeks, but represents the first concrete bid for the player. While negotiations continue, they are said to be progressing. Newcastle may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Aston Villa's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.08 goals per game (26 in 24). Dean Donny Huijsen would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Real Madrid are said to be exploring Myles Lewis-Skelly, Cristian Romero and Simon Adingra with Aston Villa likewise connected to Zavier Gozo, Igor Tyjon and Fisnik Asllani.
