Aston Villa are pushing to sign Toulouse centre-back Jaydee Canvot (18), according to [**L’Equipe**](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Mercato-aston-villa-a-fond-sur-jaydee-canvot-toulouse/1574788). The 18-year-old Canvot is also able to play as a defensive midfielder. The France U19 international has had a breakthrough season with the Ligue 1 side. He also featured for France last month in the Maurice-Revello tournament, which the young _Bleus_ won under the watchful eye of many scouts from European clubs.
The Vilains have reportedly been won over by Canvot’s versatility and physicality. **L’Equipe** understands that they are leading the race to sign the 18-year-old French prospect. The outlet adds that Toulouse are undecided regarding their player’s future. But should Canvot leave this summer, _Le Téfécé_ will set a €20m price tag on him, given his potential and the fact he’s under contract until 2029.
