Villa linked with Robert Huth on free transfer

According to the Birmingham Mail, Robert Huth is a target for Aston Villa, with Steve Bruce looking to bring in the German on a free transfer.

Huth is set to leave Leicester at the expiry of his contract after three years at the King Power Stadium. During his time in the East Midlands, Huth lifted the Premier League title with the Foxes, and was part of their Champions League run.

The defender is under consideration at Aston Villa, but a bid is yet to be placed.

Huth is reportedly okay with taking a wage cut, with the defender leaving Leicester at the end of the month.

The defender is being considered by Villa as they look to replace John Terry, who left the club after details of the financial uncertainty arose.

The Chelsea legend was only on a one year deal, but was rumoured to be on over £70,000 a week, something the club could not afford after their playoff final defeat.
