Multiple sources have confirmed that Aston Villa have officially submitted a bid for Pascal Struijk. The offer for the Leeds 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. Aston Villa are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Newcastle and Tottenham are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Aston Villa's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.19 goals per game (37 in 31). Pascal Struijk would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Leeds have also been linked with Crysencio Summerville while Aston Villa are reportedly monitoring Mandela Keita, Maxence Lacroix and Waldemar Anton.
