Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo remains a loan target for rivals.
The Express & Star says Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Ojo on a season-long loan.
Ojo was a member of the England U20 World Cup winning squad this summer and is the target of several Championship clubs with Liverpool hoping he will gain valuable playing time out on loan.
Middlesbrough, Derby and Fulham are all reported to be interested in Ojo, but Villa manager Steve Bruce is keen on taking the 20-year-old to Villa Park.
