Liverpool Line Up Move For Aston Villa's Ashley Young

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is keen to sign Aston Villa winger Ashley Young after the 25-year-old turned down the chance to sign a new deal at Villa Park for now.

New Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier will be disappointed that he has failed to tie down Young as yet, with the player himself insisting that he will talk about a new deal in the summer but is happy at the club for now.

According to The People, Houllier's former club Liverpool is ready to take advantage of Young's hesitancy with Roy Hodgson prepared to meet Villa's £14million valuation.

The People reports that Anfield boss Hodgson will have £30million to spend in January and hopes to bring five new faces to Liverpool, of which he wants two to be British talent.

Young has impressed at Aston Villa since arriving from Watford in 2006 and enjoyed another good season last campaign, scoring five goals and contributing eight assists. Young has already won ten England caps but was not considered for Fabio Capello's World Cup squad.
