Hause is poised to become Villa’s second signing of the week, after the club announced the arrival of Jota from Birmingham on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The report claims that Villa are paying £3m to land Hause, who ended the season playing second fiddle to Tyrone Mings and Axel Tuanzebe – who were the first choice centre-backs.
However, with Mings and Tuanzebe also both returning to their parent clubs, Villa are in need of defenders and Hause fits the bill – having impressed in the few appearances he did make for Dean Smith’s side.
