According to a report in the Birmingham Mail, Aston Villa are interested in signing Moritz Bauer from Stoke.
The 27-year-old right-back, who can also play on the right wing, has been linked with a move to Wolves this transfer window, but it looks like Dean Smith might try to convince him to come to Villa Park instead.
The Austrian international only signed for Stoke last summer, but he quickly became surplus to requirements under Gary Rowett. However, since Nathan Jones took over as manager a couple of weeks ago, Bauer has started all three matches, so it will probably be harder to convince him to leave now.
Villa need to bring in a number of defensive reinforcements this month if they are to have any hopes of earning a play-off spot, but with just over three days of the transfer window left, it remains to be seen if they manage to do so.
