Aston Villa want to sign Danny Drinkwater on loan until the end of the season.

Drinkwater is currently on loan at Burnley, where he has made just two appearances.

It is unlikely the Clarets will exercise their option to extend the midfielder's loan beyond January 1.

Sky Sports says Villa would be open to taking on the Premier League title winner with John McGinn out for three months.

The Premier League title winner made just 23 appearances in two seasons with Chelsea.
