  • Vlaar, who joined from Feyenoord back in 2012, has yet to reproduce the same form at Villa Park that attracted the interest of numerous teams at this summer's World Cup tournament. 

    The defender is apparently available for transfer and Southampton's manager Koeman is considering a move.

    The newly appointed manager told reporters: "Ron would definitely be an option. Although I think he won’t be cheap right now. Well, let’s just wait and see."
