Aston Villa are close to completing a deal for Wolves defender Kortney Hause, according to the Mirror.
The 23-year-old has struggled for playing time this season, making just one EFL Cup appearance in total.
A move is required to reignite his season and it looks as though Villa will be his next destination.
Talks between the two Midlands clubs are believed to have been positive, with Hause now expected to undergo a medical imminently.
Capable of thriving as either a centre-back or a left-back, he will provide Dean Smith more depth and quality, as Villa look to work their way back into the Championship play-off positions.
It looks set to be a busy January, with Croatia international Lovre Kalinic already signed and Tommy Elphick recalled from his loan spell with Hull.
Smith didn’t confirm the Hause news following Villa’s 2-2 draw at home to QPR on New Year’s Day, saying:
I could be close to signing anybody. We have a number of players we’re looking at.
It looks almost certain to be a done deal in the coming days, though.
