Former Man Utd target Pau Torres agrees £30m transfer to Premier League club in huge coup
PAU TORRES is set to sign for Aston Villa.
The Villarreal star was previously linked with a move to Manchester United.
Torres, 26, is a regular for the Spanish national team and his addition represents a huge coup for Villa boss Unai Emery.
SunSport understands that Torres is on the cusp of completing a £30million switch to Villa Park.
The centre-back has agreed personal terms to link-up with former boss Emery again.
Torres played under the ex-Arsenal manager at Villarreal – with the pair winning the Europa League together in 2021.
Villarreal-born ace Torres made 173 appearances for his boyhood club.
He is now set to sign a five-year contract at Aston Villa.
The Midlanders are doing their best to back Emery after the Spaniard guided them back into Europe.
They signed Youri Tielemans on a free transfer from Leicester earlier this month.

While they have also been linked with Juventus star Federico Chiesa and Leeds ace Tyler Adams.
Villa have appointed highly-sought after transfer guru Monchi as their new president of football operations.
Torres will be his first signing since joining from Sevilla.
