View Aston Villa summer 2026 transfer targets
Aston Villa is reportedly preparing to make a bid for Galatasaray’s right-back Wilfried Singo as they look to strengthen their defensive options ahead of next season. The 22-year-old Ivorian has emerged as one of Turkish top flight’s standout performers, showcasing his potential to excel in the Premier League.
In the recently concluded League season, Singo made more than 30 appearances for Cim Bom Bom, contributing in attack. His impressive defensive work rate and ability to support attacking plays has drawn attention from several English clubs. Singo’s pace and versatility are noteworthy attributes; he is capable of playing both as a full-back and a wing-back, providing tactical flexibility.
Villa’s interest in Singo comes as they look to bolster their squad following a season that saw them win the Europa League. He is viewed as a potential replacement for Matty Cash, who has faced injury challenges that affected his consistency. Singo’s speed and crossing ability could add an extra dimension to Villa’s attacking play, giving them more options in wide areas.
Manager Unai Emery is keen on rejuvenating the squad with younger talents, and Singo fits the profile of a player who could develop further under his guidance. The potential fee for Singo is reported to be around £15 million, a sum Villa is believed to be willing to invest. If negotiations progress smoothly, fans can expect an official bid to be lodged in the upcoming weeks as the club gears up for the summer transfer window.
