Aston Villa are rumoured to be heading for a transfer showdown with West Brom over Leicester City winger Jeffrey Schlupp.
The Sun reports that although West Brom are in pole position to sign the Ghana international, Steve Bruce is keen on landing the utility man for their campaign.
Schlupp who has not been given enough playing time this season has been linked to several clubs but West Brom are the front runners.
Steve Bruce who seeks to transform the fortunes of Aston Villa following their relegation into the Championship is dying to land the Ghanaian to help in the transformation process.
If the deal materialises, Schlupp will join Jordan Ayew as the two Ghanaians to pkat for Aston Villa at the same time.
