# Aston Villa tracking Fulham’s Marcus Bettinelli

Aston Villa are reportedly keeping tabs on Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli.

According to the [Daily Mail, cited by The Boot Room](https://tbrfootball.com/report-aston-villa-have-fulham-goalkeeper-marcus-bettinelli-on-radar/), Villa, along with fellow Premier League side Bournemouth, are both tracking the 27-year-old, with Dean Smith keen on bringing in another shot-stopper to rival Jed Steer.

Villa have already been linked with multiple English keepers, with Jack Butland and Tom Heaton both on the club’s radar this summer.

Burnley are looking to recieve up to £12 million for Heaton, while Stoke City were looking to recieve over £20 million for Butland.

The high demands may see Villa now turn their attention to Bettinelli, who was a regular at Craven Cottage during their promotion-winning campaign back in 2018.

However, Bettinelli fell out of favour last season and suffered numerous injuries, so a move for the shot-stopper could well be a risky one.

Smith has just over two weeks until the transfer window shuts, so the club needs to act quickly if they are to bolster their options between the sticks.
