Aston Villa are interested in signing the Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter this summer.
According to the Irish Independent, the 29-year-old will be made available as the Cherries want him to seal a permanent move away.
The player is apparently keen on the exit as well and Bournemouth will let him leave for a reasonable fee.
Arter had a good season with Cardiff City on loan and he could prove to be a quality signing for Aston Villa next season.
If Dean Smith manages to sign him on a bargain this summer, it would allow him to invest his funds in the other areas of the squad.
