Aston Villa and West Ham set for Eintracht Frankfurt tussle to sign Valentin Atangana

As reported by [Bild](http://bild.de) on Saturday, Valentin Atangana is attracting attention from multiple clubs and that will make it difficult for Eintracht Frankfurt to sign him.

The 19-year-old Reims player is described as a ‘super talent’, and the list of clubs keen on him includes Aston Villa, West Ham, Lazio, Fiorentina and Eintracht.

Bild appear to believe the Bundesliga club have an advantage over the others because they’re the only side involved who have qualified for the Champions League, and the chance to play at that level could attract the youngster. That appears to be Bild assuming, though, rather than sharing information.

Valentin Atangana is a defensive midfielder who has already played more than 50 matches for Reims and has represented France at every youth level.

Reims were relegated from Ligue 1 which means an exit is seen as highly likely, and probably makes the price cheaper for Aston Villa, West Ham and others.

According to the report, the French club are looking for something in the region of €10m.
