Aston Villa boss Bruce signed the West Bromwich Albion midfielder four years ago.
Steve Bruce has put West Bromwich Albion’s Jake Livermore at the top of his Aston Villa wanted list – should the Villans win promotion this season – according to the Sun on Sunday (April 8th, Goals page 13).
Villa boss Bruce – whose side’s automatic promotion chances took another hit on Saturday – signed Livermore for Hull City four years ago.
And with West Brom heading for the drop, the report claims Villa should be able to land the England midfielder for a ‘relatively cheap’ £10 million.
Failure to reach the Premier League, however, could ruin Bruce’s hopes of a reunion, with other top flight clubs likely to show interest, according to the Sun on Sunday.
The 57-year-old has already linked up with three of his former Hull players – James Chester, Ahmed Elmohamady and Robert Snodgrass – at Aston Villa.
Chester also arrived at Villa Park via West Brom, although he is the only one not to have been signed by Bruce.
At £10 million, would Livermore be a good signing for Aston Villa?
