Aston Villa are eyeing Coventry City goalkeeper Keiren Westwood.
The Coventry Telegraph says Brad Friedel's move to Tottenham appears to have catapulted Aston Villa into the lead in the race for Westwood's signature.
The Coventry City goalkeeper looks certain to leave the Sky Blues on a Bosman free despite being offered a new contract at the Ricoh Arena.
Villa - along with the likes of Sunderland, Everton, Leicester City and Manchester City - have been heavily linked with a summer move for the Republic of Ireland keeper.
And Friedel's move to White Hart Lane means that Villa will be looking for a new number one - and Westwood could be a tempting deal, particularly on a free transfer.
