Ontheminute.com understands that Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is keen to bring the 22-year-old to West Midlands club.

Villa face competition from Newcastle United, who it has been reported have started to work on a deal to sign Pino in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle United have scouted the Villarreal star several times this season and have been impressed by the performances of the winger.

But Aston Villa have an advantage, as manager Unai Emery has managed Villarreal in the past and it is reported that he has close ties with the Spanish outfit.

It is believed that Yeremy Pino has a €80 million release clause in his contract at Villarreal.
