Aston Villa are chasing Valencia fullback Aly Cissokho.

Manager Paul Lambert needs reinforcements after loaning Spaniard Antonio Luna to Hellas Verona and missing out on a loan for Ryan Bertrand who moved to Southampton.
Cissokho performed well while on loan at Liverpool against Villa last season but had too many defensive lapses for Brendan Rodgers to consider making the deal permanent.
