Aston Villa in Adem Ljajic discussions?

Aston Villa have reportedly started talks with Roma over a move for attacking midfielder Adem Ljajic.

The 23-year-old Serbian international, who joined the Giallorossi from Fiorentina in 2013 for around £8m, scored eight goals in 32 Serie A appearances last season.

Roma director of football Walter Sabatini is understood to be in England to finalise a deal with Villa, according to Sky Sports News.

Ljajic has found the net once in 12 appearances for Serbia since 2010.
