Aston Villa reportedly want Manchester United’s Sam Johnstone and Manchester City’s Joe Hart.

Aston Villa are interested in signing Joe Hart from Manchester City in the summer transfer window, according to The Birmingham Mail.

According to the report, Villa have made an approach for the England international goalkeeper, whose response has not been clear.

The 30-year-old is waiting to see what options become available to him and is also reluctant to drop down a division to the Championship, claims The Birmingham Mail.

It has also been reported that Steve Bruce’s Villa have also made an approach for Sam Johnstone and are waiting to hear back from the Manchester United goalkeeper.

The 24-year-old played on loan for Villa during the second half of the 2016-17 season and performed quite well.

According to The Birmingham Mail, Bruce has put the English youngster at the top of the summer wishlist, but he is still looking at other options.

Villa endured a disappointing season in 2016-17 and will be aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship during the 2017-18 campaign.
