According to the latest report from the authoritative British sports media HITC, English Premier League team Aston Villa has reached an agreement in principle with Dutch powerhouse Feyenoord on the transfer of defender Heitler Ida, with the total transfer fee expected to be 35 million pounds and including a series of additional clauses. This news undoubtedly for the Villa's summer reinforcement plan to add a colorful one.
As a versatile player in Feyenoord's backline, Heitler Ida is capable of playing in two key positions, right back and center back, and his joining will greatly enhance Villa's defensive thickness and tactical flexibility. The Villa side highly recognizes the strength of the Dutch international, and hopes that he will be able to successfully accept the team's medical examination on Wednesday, so that he can officially become a member of the Villa family.
It's worth noting that Villa have already made some gains in the transfer market this summer, successfully signing two strong players in Matheson and Amadou Ouane. However, the team did not stop there, but continued to seek reinforcement in the defensive end, and Heitler Idah was their carefully selected target. This series of reinforcements undoubtedly highlights Villa's ambition to reach a higher target in the new season.
However, the road to a transfer for Hightower Idah has not been a smooth one. According to HITC, Villa are facing competition from other clubs in their pursuit of the Dutch defender. Despite the fact that Villa have taken the lead at the moment, any transfer deal can be subject to last-minute changes. Therefore, the Villa side still need to remain cautious and patient, and make every effort to push the deal through.
For Feyenoord, if they are unable to successfully sell Heiteljda to Villa or another club, they may well choose to sign the Dutch international to a new contract in order to retain the heart of their defense. However, as things stand, the likelihood of Heiteljda joining Villa is gradually increasing.
