Villa reported to be among those tracking Lyon midfielder
Kim Kallstrom's agent has confirmed that his client is attracting interest, despite being contracted to Lyon.
The Swedish midfielder still has 12 months left to run on his current deal with the Ligue 1 giants.
Speculation is mounting, though, that he could be on the move this summer once the transfer window re-opens.
Premier League outfit Aston Villa are among those believed to have expressed an interest, with Gerard Houllier having taken Kallstrom to Lyon in 2006.
For now the player's representative is reluctant to discuss specific teams, but he does admit that options will be considered once the current campaign comes to a close.
Intention
"I don't comment on rumours, but there is an interest in Kim," Roger Ljung told
Aftonbladet.
"He has one year left on his contract and it is our intention to fulfil that. But Lyon haven't spoken about a new deal."
Pressed again on the Villa link, Ljung added: "As I said, I don't comment on specific rumours.
"It should be noted that it is not out of the question that he will stay at Lyon. But there are other clubs interested."
