Al-Hilal chasing Aston Villa defender Lucas Digne

Aston Villa defender Lucas Digne could be set for a move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.

The left-back is the latest European-based player to be linked to the Middle Eastern nation.

Per The Mail, the French defender knows he may not be in manager Unai Emery's first choice team for the coming season.

Digne is not unhappy at Villa, but a huge rise in his wages would be hard to turn down.

The source states that Al-Hilal are the team who are the most serious about securing his signature.

Napoli, who have Rudi Garcia in charge this summer, are also interested in acquiring Digne.

However, their interest is not as substantial, as they could not match his wage demands.
