Aston Villa, Celtic keen on Yeovil Town defender Tom James?

Yeovil Town defender Tom James has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Aston Villa and Celtic.

James has been contracted to Yeovil since the start of 2017 and during that time, the 22-year-old has made a total of 49 appearances in all competitions.

The player's form has allegedly resulted in interest from the Championship and the Scottish Premiership, despite James having recently penned a new contract.

According to The Independent, Celtic are considering an approach for the former Cardiff City youngster at the end of the season.

Villa - according to the Bristol Post - are also in the mix for James's signature as Steve Bruce contemplates his options ahead of the next campaign.

James has just over a year remaining on his existing deal.
