Aston Villa are close to signing Milan goalkeeper Pepe Reina on a free transfer.

Calciomercato.it, Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttomercatoweb all report Reina has agreed a contract with Villa until the end of the season, with the option of an extra campaign if they stay in the Premier League.

Although the 37-year-old is contracted to the Rossoneri until 2021, he is expected to terminate his deal imminently.

The former Napoli and Liverpool man has continued to play second fiddle to Gianluigi Donnarumma this season, making just one Serie A appearance.
