Aston Villa are inching closer to a deal for Wolves defender Kortney Hause.

The Wolves defender has only managed two games in the Carabao Cup this term.

He has been absent from the Premier League entirely.

And Sky Sports reports the 23-year-old is available this month, with Villa the team that has the most concrete interest.

Their boss Dean Smith wants to add to his defense, as they chase promotion to the top flight.
