Aston Villa are rivaling Birmingham City for Everton winger Aaron Lennon.
The Express & Star says Villa boss Steve Bruce could battle Birmingham City in a deal for Lennon.
The Villa boss was linked with the Englishman during his time at Hull City, and that interest may have carried over to his new employers as a loan deal could be on the cards.
Lennon might struggle for time on the pitch at Goodison Park, with a number of new faces heading into the club this summer.
