Zigic looks set to be on his way out of Valencia with the club prepared to offload the 6ft 7in hit-man.

The Serbian international has been informed he does not figure in new Valencia coach Unai Emery's plans after failing to establish himself at La Mestalla.

Zigic has been linked with a move to England for some time and now Villa are reported to have made a firm offer for the former Racing Santander star.

Valencia sporting director Juan Sanchez claims Villa have made an offer for Zigic and that the player will make a decision on his future in the next few days.

"The player and his agent know about the offer and we expect them to make a decision in the coming days," Sanchez is quoted as saying in the Sunday Mirror.
