One of the Socceroos' brightest young stars is 'being chased by Prince William's favourite Premier League team'

Socceroos young gun Joe Gauci is reportedly on the verge of sealing a move to the Premier League with Aston Villa.

Gauci, 23, is currently in camp with Australia for the Asian Cup in Qatar - with a report by Sky Sports suggesting the goalkeeper will be signed as cover for first-choice gloveman Emiliano Martinez, a World Cup winner with Argentina in 2022.

Unai Emery's side are flying high in the Premier League, sitting in fourth spot - but the team famously supported by Prince William were beaten 3-1 by Newcastle on Wednesday morning.
