Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has reportedly added Hull City's Robbie Brady to his list of targets for the summer transfer window.

Villa managed to narrowly escape relegation under the guidance of Sherwood in the closing stages of the season, but the pressure is on Sherwood to improve the side's form in his first full campaign in charge.

According to The Mirror, Brady has attracted interest from Villa and Hull are willing to listen to offers for the Republic of Ireland international.

Brady has been used as an attacking midfielder during most of his time at the KC Stadium, but the 23-year-old can also fill in as a full-back.

Villa were recently linked with a move for Hull midfielder Tom Huddlestone.
