Report: 'Aston Villa keen on Tom Huddlestone deal'

Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone emerges as a reported summer target for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood is reportedly eyeing a move for Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone.

Huddlestone worked with Sherwood during his time coaching at Tottenham Hotspur and the England international is believed to be firmly on the West Midlands club's radar.

A source is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "Sherwood is a big fan of Tom, and the pair have strong ties after working closely with one another during their time together at Spurs.

"Tim coached Tom at White Hart Lane when he was fighting his way back to fitness with the reserves following a bad injury, and rates him as one of the best creative midfield players in the country.

"He believes he is the manager who can bring out the best in him, and would relish the opportunity to throw him a Premier League lifeline."

Villa were recently linked with a move for Huddlestone's Hull teammate Jake Livermore, but that interest is thought to have been dropped after he tested positive for cocaine before the end of the season.
