The shot stopper flew into the country last night and the formalities should be completed before the game against Leeds.
According to The Telegraph, Aston Villa are not convinced with Nyland as their number and therefore they have decided to break the bank for Kalinic. Villa were linked with the likes of Heaton as well.
The 28 year old will cost around £7 million as per the report.
It will be interesting to see if there any more additions to the Villa squad in January. Dean Smith’s side could use another defender.
The Aston Villa manager will also be hoping to hold on to star striker Tammy Abraham.
