Aston Villa are interested in signing Ashley Young from Inter Milan this summer.
According to The Athletic, the 35-year-old will be allowed to leave the Italian champions this summer when his contract expires.
Watford and Burnley have shown interest in the player as well and Young would like a return to the Premier League.
Apparently, Dean Smith wants experienced and versatile cover for his full-back positions and Young has been identified as a target.
The report further states that the Premier League club has already been in touch with the player regarding a potential return to Villa Park.
The likes of Ahmed Elmohamady and Neil Taylor have left the club the summer and Villa could certainly use someone like Young at their disposal.
The 35-year-old can operate as a winger as well as a full back on both sides of the pitch. Apart from his quality as a footballer, his winning experience and leadership could be invaluable for the Villa dressing room as well.
Young has played for the West Midlands club between 2007 and 2011 and he should be able to adapt quickly and make an immediate impact if he decides to return the Villa Park.
Smith has put together a talented young core and adding a bit of experience to it would be a wise move.
The 39-cap England international will be a free agent at the end of this month and therefore it would be an inexpensive signing for the club.
Young chipped in with one goal and four assists for Inter this past season as he helped them win the Scudetto after 11 years.
