Aston Villa desperate to steal Simakan from AC Milan

It was looking like the deal had been done to take Mohamed Simakan to AC Milan, but Aston Villa have stepped up to the mark. Press in Birmingham have made a lucrative offer to the Italian club.
'The Birmingham Mail' want to bring in Simakan and have raised eyebrows in Strasbourg with a 20 million euro offer.
The player had seemed destined for Milan, with 'RMC Sports' reporting that he had signed a five-year contract. However, that is now up in the air.
