Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is homing in on Feyenoord midfielder Karim El Ahmadi to become his first signing.
The 27-year-old Netherlands-born Moroccan international has been with Feyenoord since signing from home town club Twente Enschede in 2008.
But new Villa manager Lambert is now keen to bring him over to England.
"We're in talks at this moment, those talks are ongoing and we hope to reach a positive conclusion with Feyenoord and the player," said Lambert.
"Karim is a player who I feel could definitely improve our squad.
"He has experience of big club football and also at international level.
"He can pass the ball well and he could be an important player for us in central midfield. Let's see how things progress. We're very hopeful."
