Aston Villa are reportedly considering making a move for Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge before the end of the transfer window.
The 29-year-old was an ever-present for the Bluebirds last season in the Premier League, keeping ten clean sheets.
Dean Smith's side were rumoured to have made an approach for the former Fulham keeper earlier this summer, something that was vehemently denied by his parent club.
Wales Online now report that the Villans are considering making another move for the Filipino international after having little success in their pursuits of Burnley's Tom Heaton and Stoke City shot-stopper Jack Butland.
Etheridge is thought to have a strong relationship with Smith and Villa's goalkeeping coach Neil Cutler from their time together at Walsall, something that could influence any potential move as the Midlands club look to continue to strengthen ahead of their return to the top flight.
