"Aston Villa sporting director Monchi is reportedly keeping a close eye on Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Julian Brandt ahead of an ambitious potential transfer move. The 29-year-old playmaker is firmly on Villa's radar at the moment, and it seems he's also keen on a move to the Premier League at some point, according to Fichajes. Brandt has had a fine career in the Bundesliga, spending six years as a star player at Bayer Leverkusen, while he's now in his seventh season at Dortmund."

Monchi is monitoring Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Julian Brandt as a potential transfer target for Aston Villa. Brandt is 29 and is reportedly interested in a move to the Premier League. He spent six years at Bayer Leverkusen and is now in his seventh season with Dortmund. Villa have pursued ambitious signings recently and view Brandt as a target that could be realistic despite its ambition. A move to Villa would likely offer Brandt Premier League football and the chance to play in European competition under Unai Emery. Brandt could fit Emery's style and replace departed players such as Jacob Ramsey and Marco Asensio.
