Aston Villa, Newcastle joined by Atletico Madrid in Wijnaldum battle

PSG midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum is interesting Aston Villa and Newcastle.

Calciomercato reports he has only managed three goals and two assists in all competitions as the form he showed at Liverpool looks to have disappeared.

He has been reduced to a bit-part player in the squad as Mauricio Pochettino favours the likes of Leandro Paredes, Danilo Pereira, Idrissa Gueye and Marco Verratti.

Villa and Newcastle are interested in bringing the Dutchman in.

But they face stiff competition from fellow Premier League rivals West Ham if they are to secure his signature.

And LaLiga champions Atletico Madrid are also thought to be keen on the Holland international.
