Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is set to raid old club Leicester City.

The Mirror says O'Neill has lined up a £2.5million raid on his old club Leicester for youngsters Joe Mattock and Richard Stearman.

Defender Mattock, 17, was the subject of a failed £1m bid from West Ham in January and has been watched by Aston Villa boss O'Neill this season.

And the Foxes' player of the year Stearman, 20, is another target - with Sunderland and Spurs also keen on the defender.
