Aston Villa have reportedly reached an agreement with a highly experienced midfielder who is keen to make the move to Villa Park.
The player has already agreed personal terms with the Premier League club, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Villa have already spent £90m on two midfielders this summer, but Unai Emery appears determined to add even more quality and experience to his squad. The identity of the latest target has not yet been revealed.
The club completed a £52m move for Johan Manzambi from Freiburg in July before signing Joao Gomes from Wolves for £38m three days later.
Further reinforcement is required following Youri Tielemans’ move to Manchester United and Amadou Onana’s ACL injury.
The midfielder would represent an experienced addition, having previously impressed in the Premier League with Fulham and Tottenham.
Stats in the Premier League last season:
Appearances: 33
Tackles: 3.3 per game
Interceptions: 0.9 per game
Clearances: 0.8 per game
Goals: 5
The Portugal international is reportedly eager to return to England after rejoining Bayern following his season-long loan at Tottenham.

Romano claims he is ready to join Villa once the clubs agree a fee, with negotiations expected to begin shortly.
Despite producing important performances for Tottenham and scoring crucial winners against Wolves and Everton, a permanent move to north London failed to materialise.
Villa could now benefit, with his experience potentially proving crucial as they compete in both the Premier League and Champions League.
