Aston Villa could sign Tom Heaton this week

Aston Villa are interested in signing the Burnley keeper Tom Heaton this summer.

According to Daily Mirror, the newly-promoted side has sent out an offer to Burnley for the experienced shot-stopper and a deal could be done this week.

Dean Smith wants to bring in an experienced keeper and Aston Villa have been linked with Jack Butland as well. However, Stoke’s asking price is quite high and Heaton would be a more reasonable addition.

Butland is thought to be valued at around £25million.

The Burnley player was outstanding in the Premier League before his injury and he could prove to be a quality signing for Villa next year.
