Aston Villa-linked Ibrahim Sangare has reportedly been suggested to some of the Premier League's top clubs.
Villa was linked with PSV midfielder Eindhoven last summer, as well as Leicester City. At that time, Sangare stayed in the Netherlands and signed a five-year contract with the Eredivisie team.
However, a recent report from 90min claims Sangare's agent has 'warned' Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea about his potential availability before the summer. The 25-year-old is said to be looking for a new challenge and is "ready to try his hand".
Currently under contract at PSV until 2027, the midfielder is said to have a €37m release clause included in his contract. However, the club are said to be 'ready' to cash in on him amid high interest rates.
Meanwhile, PSV boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is a fan of the player's attributes. "Obviously he can handle [Premier League]," he said. “I challenge him because I think Ibrahim can reach the top in England.
"He would also be great in Italy or Spain. I see players in his position there and I think Ibrahim will definitely try his luck at this level."
