Aston Villa, Burnley join Chelsea interest for free agent Hennessey

Aston Villa have joined the interest for former Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.

The Daily Mail report that Villa and Premier League rivals Chelsea and Burnley are also keen on a move for the 34 year-old.

Hennessey is a free agent after leaving Palace at the end of last month following the expiration of his contract at Selhurst Park.

The 34 year-old would be brought in to Villa as a replacement for Tom Heaton, who departed the Second City for a return to boyhood club Manchester United in June.

Heaton's move to Old Trafford leaves Villa with Emiliano Martinez, Jed Steer and Lovre Kalinic as the club's senior goalkeepers.
