ASTON Villa are plotting a late swoop to sign Aaron Ramsdale, according to reports.

The Cherries goalkeeper looks set to exit the club after a bid of £18.5million was accepted from Sheffield United over the weekend.

However, outlets including talkSPORT and Mail Online have today reported that Villa are considering a late move to try and hijack Ramsdale's switch to the Blades.

Ramsdale, 22, joined Cherries from Sheffield United for around £800,000 in 2017 and has made 37 appearances for the club.

Villa finished one point and one place above Cherries to avoid relegation from the Premier League last season.
