Video: Is Mane Of Almeria Moving To Villa Park For 9 Million Pounds?

This transfer rumour refuse to go away. With question marks remaining over Nicky Shorey's future and the fitness of Dutch international Wilfred Bouma, it is imperative that Villa signs a new left back.

When asked about where his future lies, Mane said he would love the opportunity to play in the EPL.

"I'm an older player now with great ambition, and the challenge would be special to me," he said.

"I am proud that several clubs are looking at me and that's a sign that things are going well."

He seems like a good player, but is 9 million pounds too steep for Martin O'neill?
