West Ham winger Robert Snodgrass looks set to join Aston Villa on loan.
The 29-year-old was recently told he was free to leave the Hammers, less than a year after joining the club from Hull City for £10 million.
Villa boss Steve Bruce is unable to complete a permanent deal for Snodgrass due to Financial Fair Play regulations, but a season-long loan is on the cards.
Sunderland, Newcastle United and Leeds United have all been linked with the Scotland international, but Villa have jumped to the head of the queue.
Snodgrass previously played under Bruce at Hull, helping the club to promotion in 2015/16.
