Aston Villa are set to complete second summer transfer 'in the next 24 hours' 
Ashley Young is closing in on a return to Aston Villa.
Young is wanted by Dean Smith's Villa as they look to strengthen a side that finished 11th in the Premier League last season.
The former England international is set to leave Inter Milan this summer despite playing a key role in the San Siro side's Serie A title win. Inter are said to be struggling financially and Young is now seeking a return to the Premier League 18 months after leaving Manchester United. Young left Villa to join Manchester United in 2011 after four-and-a-half-years at the club.
A return for Young would deviates from Villa's transfer policy but it would make a lot of sense for the club and the player.

Where he would fit in at Villa
Over the past few years Young has adapted to play at full-back having spent most of his career as a winger.
Villa have just let two full-backs leave the club in Ahmed Elmohamady and Neil Taylor while Frederic Guilbert is likely to want regular football.
Young played at left-back for England in the 2018 World Cup and spent most of 2020-21 on the wing for Inter, helping Antonio Conte's side clinch the Serie A title.
He would bring experience, versatility and know-how to a young Villa side.
