Steve Bruce, the Villa manager, has sent his top scouts to keep an eye on Feyenoord goalkeeper Jones ahead of the summer window.
The Australian goalkeeper, who has four caps for his country, has been playing regularly for the Dutch club this season, having made 26 league appearances. He has also made five appearances in the Champions League before Feyenoord were knocked out in the group stage.
Aston Villa have one of the best goalkeepers in the Championship in Sam Johnstone.
