Yannick Bolasie is holding talks with Steve Bruce as Aston Villa attempt to hijack Middlesbrough's move for the winger, according to Sky Sports.
It was reported on Monday that Bolasie and Everton team-mate Mo Besic were holding talks with Boro boss Tony Pulis over a proposed loan move.
The 29-year-old travelled to Villa's training ground on Tuesday, and it now appears he has a decision to make after loan offers were made by both Championship clubs.
