Remi Garde wants Roma outcast Ashley Cole
The Villa boss is in the market for a new left-back following injury to Jordan Amavi.
The 21-year-old arrived at Villa Park in the summer for £9million but has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a cruciate knee ligament damage.
The former England international is yet to feature for the Serie A giants this season and is reportedly up for sale in the January window.
And Garde has said on the speculation: “He has experience but he didn’t play for a while now. Every good player is interesting for me and Ashley is a good player.”
