According to the Daily Mail, Horn has emerged as a possible target after another fine campaign for the 22-year-old in the Bundesliga.
Villa representatives watched Horn keep a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Schalke 04, but it is understood that the club have not yet made an official approach.
