Anderlecht defender Roland Juhasz is a £5 million target for Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill.
O'Neill intends plunging into the market for a centre-half because of serious doubts surrounding the future of Martin Laursen, who may retire due to his latest knee injury.
Hungarian ace Juhasz, 25, has attracted interest from a host of clubs - including Fiorentina, Hamburg, Marseille and Inter Milan.
