Pierre Kalulu has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Aston Villa, with the Premier League side said to be eyeing a move for the Juventus defender. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Man Utd, Newcastle and Tottenham may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Aston Villa's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.14 goals per game (24 in 21). Pierre Kalulu would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Juventus have also been linked with Youssef En-Nesyri, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Donyell Malen while Aston Villa are reportedly monitoring Kevin Schade, Dani Ceballos and Alex Scott.
