Emiliano Martinez's move from #AVFC to Juventus is now off. Personal terms were not an issue & both clubs closer to valuation, but Serie A side decided against continuing with deal. Zion Suzuki set to join Villa regardless & become No 1. @J_Tanswell

Matteo Ruggeri & Zion Suzuki are set to sign for Aston Villa in the next 24 hours, with an offer expected for Aaron Wan-Bissaka this week.#AVFC @TomCollomosse

Zion Suzuki to undergo medical at #AVFC on Monday morning. Deal worth €30m+€5m, with 23yo signing a 5yr contract. Suzuki was the club's first-choice target to replace Emiliano Martinez, who Villa will now look to help find a new move after Juventus fell through. @theathleticfc.bs

Aston Villa’s position is clear: they can and want to only loan Joao Palhinha at this stage. The clubs remain in contact. @Plettigoal #AVFC

Calm and understated off the pitch, it's Zion Suzuki's commanding presence between the sticks that matches the scale of his ambition: "to become the best goalkeeper in the world." Nicknamed 'animale' at Parma, Suzuki has big shoes to fill at #AVFC. 🇯🇵 http////www.birminghammail

Aston Villa reach an agreement in principle to sign Zion Suzuki for a €30m+€5m package, Villa advanced talks in the past 24 hours after Suzuki made it clear he wanted to join. Japan international has agreed a five-year contract. @JacobsBen

The challenge of replacing Emi Martinez has been on Aston Villa's radar for more than 18 months. One of the hardest players to replace in the squad, but the recruitment team are very excited about Zion Suzuki. PSG had a jet prepared until Villa made their offer. 🇯🇵 #AVFC

#AVFC reach agreement to sign Zion Suzuki from Parma. Deal worth €30m+possible €5m in add-ons. 23yo Villa's top GK target to succeed Emi Martinez - had tracked Suzuki over the previous two seasons. Villa believe player favoured a move to them throughout the summer. @theathleticfc
