Zion Suzuki’s move to PSG is off (Getty) Aston Villa are leading the race to sign Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki after his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain collapsed on Saturday. PSG had agreed a €35 million (£30m) deal with Parma for Suzuki and the Japan international was due to travel to Paris on Saturday to undergo a medical and finalise his move to Luis Enrique’s side.

The report adds that barring any unforeseen circumstances, Suzuki will not be joining PSG this summer.
