Atletico Madrid readying bid for Aston Villa defender Matty Cash

Atletico Madrid are readying a summer bid for Aston Villa defender Matty Cash.

The Spanish champions are keen to sign a new specialist full-back after Kieran Trippier was sold to Newcastle in January and have been impressed by Cash, 24, who is in his second season with Villa, says the Daily Mail.

Cash joined Villa from Nottingham Forest for an initial £14million in September 2020, signing a five-year contract, and has been a regular under both Dean Smith and Steven Gerrard, making 55 appearances in all competitions.

He has two goals and three assists in that time, including the opener in Villa's 2-0 win at Brighton last weekend.

He has also chosen to play for Poland, the country of his grandfather, rather than England and has won two caps.
