Aston Villa in for Robbie Brady?

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood is placed Hull City's Robbie Brady as one of his top transfer targets for the summer.

The former Manchester United graduate has mostly been employed as an attacking midfielder at Hull City, but can also play as a full-back.

According to The Mirror, Sherwood will look to bolster his side this summer, as the onus is on him to improve the Midlands outfit in his first full season in charge.

Brady has been a consistent performer for recently relegated Hull City, and could favour a return to the Premier League in the upcoming transfer window.
