Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are closely monitoring the situation of Juventus defender, Frenchman Pierre Kalulu, as part of their efforts to strengthen their defensive line in the upcoming period, according to the website Calcio Mercato.

Kalulu is highly valued by the management of both clubs due to his versatility and ability to play either as a central defender or as a right-back, in addition to his experience in the Italian league and European competitions.

Despite the clear interest, reports indicate that Aston Villa and Tottenham will not be making an official offer at this time. It is expected that any move will be postponed until the end of the current season, unless unexpected developments arise that open the door for the player to leave the Old Lady.

Kalulu is considered one of the key defensive players Juventus relies on this season, which may complicate negotiations for his departure, especially given the club's commitment to keeping him and the lack of any clear intention to let him go during the current transfer window.
