Report: Aston Villa want Tom Heaton on loan in January

According to a report from The Sun on Sunday (25/11; page 60), Aston Villa are planning to make a move for Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton on loan in the January transfer window.

Villa signed two goalkeepers during the summer transfer window. Andre Moreira arrived from Atletico Madrid on loan, and Orjan Nyland joined permanently from FC Ingolstadt 04.

Moreira has barely featured, while Nyland has his critics as well. The 28-year-old has improved under Dean Smith but he is often prone to errors.

The report claims that Smith still wants to bolster his options in January.
