According to sources close to the agents industry who informed CaughtOffside, Aston Villa are one of several Premier League clubs closely monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt's German-American left-back Nathaniel Brown. The 22-year-old has also attracted interest from Manchester City, Newcastle United, Manchester United, and Arsenal. It is understood that both City and Arsenal are considering opening talks in the near future to strengthen their options on the left side of defence. Brown is contracted to the Bundesliga club until 2030, and without a known release clause, Frankfurt would be in a strong negotiating position. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €22.00m.
