Aston Villa want to sign international defender in January

Aston Villa want to sign Legia Warsaw defender Bartosz Bereszynski in January, according to Polish outlet Przeglad Sportowy.

The 24-year-old right-back, who has three caps for the Polish national team,   has apparently been identified as a January target as Steve Bruce looks to freshen up the squad and mould it in his image.

Despite having a number of options at right back, Bruce looks to have identified that position as one that he wants to strengthen and Bereszynski looks to be one of the options that he’s considering.

The defender is a regular starter for Legia Warsaw and they won’t be keen to let him leave but a chance to move to England with the possibility of playing in the Premier League in the near future could lead to him pushing for a move.

Alan Hutton, Micah Richards and Ritchie De Laet are all part of Bruce’s squad but this news might suggest that Bruce has little confidence in that trio.
