Guangzhou Evergrande star Alessandro Diamanti could be set for a return to the Premier League, with Watford and Aston Villa interested.
The 32-year-old Italian international recently returned to the Chinese giants after Fiorentina opted against making his loan move permanent last season.
Gazzetta.it reports that Watford and Aston Villa are set to battle his former club Bologna for his signature in the coming weeks, as the transfer window draws to a close.
The play-maker is understood to be keen on staying in Europe, and new Guangzhou boss Felipe Scolari is happy to accommodate the player’s requests provided a good enough offer comes in.
Diamanti spent some time in England previously with West Ham in the 2009/10 season, netting seven goals in 28 league appearances.
