Aston Villa are reportedly close to a move to Rangers defender Calvin Basie.
Passy, who only joined the Scottish side in 2020, was a standout player in their penalty shootout defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final, with the 22-year-old showing his admiration during his second season at Ibrox.
Having worked with Steven Gerrard before, and Aston Villa are in need of cover for Lucas Digne, it is easy to see why the move could be beneficial for all parties.
According to the Scottish Times, the Midlands are “ready to step up their pursuit” of the defender, having been given “financial backing” by the club’s owners.

Camara and Coutinho through the door
Should Bassey arrive, he would be the third summer signing for Villans, who are already looking forward to returning from a difficult first season in a post-Jack Grealish world.
Philippe Coutinho is now permanent in a deal worth around €20m, while highly-rated defensive midfielder Boubacar Camara will also join the club as a free agent.

Meanwhile, Gerrard’s side remain keen on Yves Bisuma Brighton, with the midfielder set to be available on the cheap as he has only one year left on his contract at the AMEX Stadium.
It promises to be another summer of change in the middle.
