Aston Villa are interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen in January, according to reports.
The Welsh international was signed by former Reds manager Brendan Rodgers, who he also played under at Swansea City, but he’s failed to nail down a regular place in the first team since his arrival.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Allen has found himself on the substitute’s bench more often than not, and seems pretty low on the pecking order of midfielders at Anfield.
Emre Can and Lucas have been Klopp’s preferred pairing in recent weeks, while James Milner and Jordan Henderson will be more likely to start over Allen once they return to full fitness.
Villa find themselves in a relegation battle and have just hired a new manager to try to keep them in the division.
Remi Garde has taken over from Tim Sherwood and finds himself in charge of a team sitting bottom of the Premier League table with just five points from 12 games.
