Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Kortney Hause is said to be on Dean Smith’s radar at Aston Villa.
The same paper have reported how Wolves have accepted a bid from Villa for the centre-back.
And when asked about Hause leaving to join Villa last night, Nuno suggested that the move was a real possibility.
“It’s the same thing we have to do,” he said.
“Every time a player has a chance to go, it’s because of some things like he needs to play.
“If we have an asset that needs to play, if we have a chance, we will take it.”
Hause has been a loyal servant for Wolves, but he has struggled for game time since their promotion to the Premier League.
With Villa looking for defensive additions, the powerful defender now looks set to become Dean Smith’s second signing for the Midlands club.
Villa have already brought in Lovre Kalinic this month, and Hause should further strengthen the claret and blues’ backline.
Hause has proven during his time at Wolves that he is a fine defender at Championship level.
The 23-year-old is due to join Villa at a time when they are fighting for a play off place, with Smith’s side currently in 10th spot.
