Aston Villa are stepping up their push for Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas.
The Daily Mail says Jenas is growing increasingly dissatisfied with his lot at Tottenham.
Manager Harry Redknapp is persisting with Tom Huddlestone and Luka Modric in various roles with Wilson Palacios to fit back in and Jenas is weighing up where his future best lies.
A Villa offer could well come in this week as they also look to tie up deals for Middlesbrough's Tuncay and Sylvain Distin from Portsmouth.
