Aston Villa are eyeing Barcelona midfielder Alex Hleb.
The Daily Star says Hleb joined Barca from Arsenal for £17m last summer, but they are prepared to accept as little as £10m for him now, especially as they want to raise cash to buy Gunners skipper Cesc Fabregas.
Villa boss Martin O’Neill is believed to be interested in buying him as a striker or wide midfielder to offer competition to James Milner and Ashley Young.
Hleb’s agent Oliver Minztlaff confirmed interest from English and German clubs. But Villa are top of the list.
