# Aston Villa make move for West Ham target Moukoundi

Championship side Aston Villa have made a €9m offer for West Ham target Harold Moukoundi.

[According to French outlet L’Equipe](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Aston-villa-veut-harold-moukoudi-le-havre/934722), Aston Villa have bid for the central defender to secure a January transfer.

The report claims, however, that Moukoundi could prefer to stay in France, with interest from Ligue 1 side Rennes.

Moukoundi currently plies his trade in Ligue 2 for Le Havre, where he has made over 40 appearances.

The 20-year-old’s contract with Le Havre expires at the end of the season, which could tempt them into selling in the next transfer window.

West Ham were previously interested in the centre-back, with the club strengthening their options over the summer transfer window.

If Moukoundi fails to make a move in this window, West Ham could make another move for him in the January transfer window.
