Toulouse goalkeeper Guillaume Restes is emerging as a serious option for Aston Villa should Emiliano Martinez leave this summer. Villa have held talks with Restes’ representatives. Toulouse are open to selling Restes, with sources close to the club suggesting a deal could be struck around £20million ($26.5m), depending on how the goalkeeping market unfolds. Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki has also been sounded out. Villa would want Martinez to stay and believe his performance value outweighs what they can get for him, but it depends on whether they receive a sensible offer for the World Cup winner.
