The top left-back from Ligue 1 last season is heading to Villa Park.
Aston Villa reached an agreement with OGC Nice on Saturday for the transfer of 21-year-old Jordan Amavi, who was nothing short of a monster on the left flank at the Allianz Riviera.
Amavi, who didn't participate in Nice's trip to Belgium on Friday in order to travel to England, made 36 Ligue 1 appearances last season, ranking first in the league in interceptions per game (4.6) ...
... and fifth in tackles per game (3.9).
