Aston Villa are reportedly gearing up for a huge summer transfer window, and are said to have a Manchester City star on their shopping list.
Aston Villa are reportedly working on bringing back a former footballer of theirs who now suits up for Manchester City, Kyle Walker, during the summer transfer window.
The 32-year-old spent half of a season-long loan at Villa from Tottenham. The Villans are now said to have set their sights on the England international as they look to strengthen the right-back position.

The Spanish tactician is said to want a proven player, one seasoned in the role, and Walker is the right fit they are reportedly in the market for.
The reports come after the Manchester City manager publicly cast doubt over the defender's continuation at the club, following his reduced game time in recent matches.
Aston Villa are expected to back Emery in the summer, following the relative success they have enjoyed since he resumed the role. Walker's contract expires at the end of next season and he could be available for relatively cheap in the summer transfer window.
