Aston Villa set to swoop for £3million Arsenal defender?
Aston Villa Football Club hope to land Philippe Senderos for £3million this summer.
The Switzerland international spent last season on loan at AC Milan, after slipping down the pecking order for places in Arsene Wenger’s back four at Arsenal.
Senderos admits he would like to remain in Italy, but after making just 12 appearances last season, Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani has already ruled out a deal for the 24-year-old.
Senderos’ plight with the Londoners looks to be gotten worse with Wenger about to bring in Thomas Vermaelen for £11million, and reports suggest Martin O’Neill may bid for the Swiss this summer.
The Villa manager has lost Martin Laursen through retirement and is looking for a replacement, and he is said to be hopeful of landing the former Servette man for £3million.
