According to West London Sport, Aston Villa are looking to sign Steven Caulker on a trial basis.

Caulker is currently out of contract and looking for a new club, and Steve Bruce feels he could be a good option.

Caulker’s career has stalled in recent times, and Bruce wants to take a closer look at the centre-back before committing to buy him.

But Villa are thought to be considering making a move for the former England international.

Caulker was once considered to be one of England’s brightest defensive prospects, but off the field problems rather derailed his career.

The centre-back most recently played for Dundee, but triggered a release clause in his contract and is now free to sign for another club.

Villa are known to be looking for a centre-back, as their current options in the position are very short.
