Aston Villa are eyeing Fiorentina midfielder Alessandro Diamanti.
The Daily Star Sunday says he is currently on loan to Fiorentina from Chinese club Gunangzhou and Villa boss Tim Sherwood sees him as a bargain signing when his current deal ends.
Diamanti had a spell at West Ham five years ago, before returning to Italy to join Brescia.
But the left-sided midfielder, who has plenty of experience, could now be heading back to the Premier League with Villa.
