Popov is currently playing for Russian team Kuban Krasnodar, who are also in the Europa League.
“Interest from Aston Villa? Indeed such information has reached me, but I do not wish to go into details, before things are certain. My agent is moving things forward”, the Bulgarian forward told Dariknews.
Popov added that he feels honored to be among the favorites for the Bulgarian Footballer of the Year award.
