The defender, 23, is interesting Roma, but Villa hope to land him in a permanent deal in the coming days, says Foot Mercato.

Rennes are willing to sell Assignon for €10m, which falls within Villa's transfer budget.

Assignon has been with Rennes since 2017 and is doing preseason under coach Julien Stephan, but is ready to leave this summer.
