Aston Villa agree €40m deal to sign Spain defender Pau Torres from Villarreal
Arsenal and Liverpool had also shown an interest in the England international, while Thomas Tuchel had designs on bringing him to Bayern Munich, but United have made the strongest push. Ten Hag wants more athleticism in midfield and he admires Mount’s work rate, versatility and technical ability.
Chelsea’s decision to sell one of their brightest academy products will cause much debate within the club’s fan base. Mount, who has scored 33 goals in 195 appearances, is a favourite with the Stamford Bridge faithful and Frank Lampard, one of the greatest players in the Stamford Bridge club’s history, saw him as a future Chelsea captain.
Supporters will remember a dedicated professional who played the assist for Kai Havertz to score the winner in the Champions League final against Manchester City in 2021. But Chelsea are in the middle of an extensive clear out and sold Havertz to Arsenal for £65 million on Thursday. Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante have moved to Saudi Arabia, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is joining Milan for £15 million plus add-ons and Hakim Ziyech is due to join Al Nassr.
Torres is already believed to have agreed personal terms for a move to Villa Park, with Villarreal having accepted Villa’s offer for a player who is out of contract at the end of next season following talks on Thursday. He was Emery’s main summer target and the impending move means the 26-year-old will add considerable defensive depth to Villa’s squad.
