Aston Villa left-back Lucas Digne is admired by AS Roma chief Tiago Pinto.

The Frenchman was slated to leave the Villa Park club in the summer transfer window.

However, no move materialized, while Digne has since become a mainstay for boss Unai Emery.

Per Il Romanista, he may have a route out of Villa in the winter or summer, should his situation change.

The Italian giants Roma are eager to secure the 30-year-old, having worked with him in the past.

Digne had a positive loan spell with the capital club in the 2015-2016 season.
