Bulgaria international Ivelin Popov has revealed that former Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov told him about the club’s interest in signing him.

“Yes, Aston Villa are seriously interested in signing me. Stiliyan Petrov told me that. I am currently in talks with a lot of people, but let’s see what happens,” the 25-year-old Kuban Krasnodar forward told Bulgarian reporters on Wednesday, as cited by BGNES.

Popov reiterated that the Aston Villa deal is far from done.

“I have two years on my Kuban Krasnodar contract, so the transfer fee will be high. Let’s wait and see what happens,” he said.

Another Bulgarian international, 23-year-old Lech Poznan winger Aleksandar Tonev, is reportedle on the verge of signing for Aston Villa.
