Villa track Swiss talent

The 23-year-old Margairaz has been an integral part of FC Zurich's bid for the Swiss championship title this season, catching the eye of a number of clubs from across Europe. Chief among them is O'Neill, who is seeking to give the Villa squad a bit of depth ahead of next season, and the Rances-born Margairaz, part of Switzerland's World Cup squad, apparently fits the bill. Swiss twins Yago and Damian Bellon are already in the club's youth ranks.
