Tom Heaton picked up an injury against Burnley and he has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
With Jed Steer injured as well, Nyland is the only goalkeeping option for Dean Smith right now. It is no surprise that Villa are prepared to invest in a quality shot-stopper.
As per Daily Mail, the Stoke City ace has been identified as a possible replacement for Heaton.
Butland was regarded as one of the most talented keepers in the country at one point. He will be hoping to show his worth in the Premier League once again.
