Aston Villa are battling to keep hold of winger Ashley Young.
The Guardian says Young has caught the eye of leading Premier League teams over the past two years, including Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Liverpool, as well as a number of top European clubs. Villa may well find it difficult to persuade the England international to stay if interest crystallises into a formal offer.
Young, 25, is happy at Villa but also fiercely ambitious and keen to regain his England place after missing out on the World Cup.
