Aston Villa are understood to be interested in a move for Norwich City defender Russell Martin.
The 27-year-old previously worked with Villa boss Paul Lambert at Carrow Road as well as Wycombe Wanderers.
Lambert is now keen to be reunited with the centre-back for a second time, according to The Mirror.
Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion have also been linked with summer moves for Martin.
