Aston Villa interested in Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna

Aston Villa are still in the hunt to sign Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna.

That’s according to the Daily Record, who believe Villa could battle Celtic for his signature.

Aberdeen are confident of earning £10million for the sale of McKenna, but a January transfer appears to be out of the question.

The report states that the Dons will only consider doing business this month if they can agree to loan the 22-year-old back for the rest of the season.

McKenna originally caught the eye of Steve Bruce during his time at Villa Park last summer, but a move never came to fruition.

Dean Smith is also an admirer, however, even though Kortney Hause has already been brought in at the back.

A deal for McKenna looks like a possibility this summer, which would be an exciting piece of business.

The youngster has won eight caps for Scotland, making his debut in a 1-0 defeat to Costa Rica in March 2018.
