Aston Villa are interested in the 23-year-old full-back as they will need a quality long-term replacement for Matty Cash. Pete O’Rourke said that Guela Doue has attracted interest from more than just Aston Villa. Convincing Strasbourg and the player could be difficult, and the French club might prefer to sell the player to Chelsea instead of Aston Villa.

CaughtOffside reports that Aston Villa have been closely monitoring Strasbourg's 23-year-old Ivorian right-back, Guéla Doué, this season and are among several interested clubs. The same source states that Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford have also been monitoring the player. It is also reported that AC Milan maintain their interest after their summer bids were rejected. RB Leipzig and Real Betis are also understood to be tracking his progress. Strasbourg is expected to demand a transfer fee of more than €30 million for Doué. The defender's contract with the French club runs until 2029. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at €18 million.
