Premier League side Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing Al-Hilal defender Saud Abdulhamid this summer, as reported by TEAMtalk.

Nottingham Forest and Roma are also monitoring the Saudi Pro League star.

The right-back impressed while at Al-Ittihad, and made the switch to Al-Hilal in 2022.

He went on to represent Saudi Arabia in the 2022 World Cup. 

The 24-year-old has less than a year remaining in his current deal, and could be sold in the coming weeks for a reasonable price.

Aston Villa are looking for reinforcements in several positions ahead of what promises to be a demanding season.
