Aston Villa are interested in signing Tiago Santos from Lille in the summer transfer window, according to SportsLens. The report has claimed that Villa are on the hunt for a new right-back due to Matty Cash continuing to struggle with injuries and have identifed Santos as a possible target.

Santos has been on the books of Lille since the summer of 2023 when he joined from G.D. Estoril Praia. The 21-year-old Portugal Under-21 international is one of the best young right-backs in the French domestic league. The 21-year-old has made 15 starts and three substitute appearances in Ligue 1 so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.

Villa are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 49 points from 25 matches, 11 points behind leaders Liverpool. Meanwhile, Lille currently find themselves fourth in the Ligue 1 table with 38 points from 22 matches, 15 points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
