Aston Villa are plotting a summer swoop for Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss, with the Moroccan playmaker expected to cost a modest £15 million ($19m) following the Foxes’ relegation.
The 22-year-old, once Genk’s standout performer and a creative engine at Leicester last season, made 32 Premier League appearances and remained injury-free – a detail confirmed by sports scientist Dr Rajpal Brar to Astonvillanews, who expects no medical hiccups.
Villa see El Khannouss’s tactical intelligence and defensive discipline as a natural fit for Unai Emery’s system. He would add depth, flair, and composure in midfield without blowing the budget.
Several Premier League clubs are circling, but Villa hope to move quickly and exploit Leicester’s diminished negotiating power.
