VILLA TO CONTACT LENS STAR

The 26-year-old only moved to Felix Bollaert last summer, signing a four-year contract, but he had a disappointing campaign, and it is understood he is considering quitting the club to pursue a fresh start in The Premiership.

Tottenham have been looking in France for potential recruits, and they have shown some interest in the former Lille and Auxerre star.

Sibierski, who was also linked with Rangers recently, had a tremendous season in 1999/2000 when he bagged 13 goals in 28 Le Championnat matches for Nantes.

However, his move to Lens has not really worked out and he could be one of many players on the move during what promises to be a frenzied summer of transfer activity.

Villa are known to be seeking recruits to their squad and Sibierski could be one of the names in the frame for Gregory.
