Watford have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for striker Ashley Young.
"Manager Martin O'Neill has been given permission to speak to the England Under-21 star," said a statement on the Villa website.
The in-demand 21-year-old turned down a move to West Ham earlier this week after Watford accepted a £9.65m bid from the Upton Park side.
Villa are thought to have offered an initial £8m for Young, who scored 15 goals for the Hornets last season.
How good is this guy? I havent seen much of him and it seems like a lot of money
