Burnley FC's George Boyd is being tracked by SkyBet Championship side Aston Villa, according to The Mirror.

The 31-year-old will be out of contract in the summer having rejected a one-year contract extension with the Lancashire outfit.

Boyd has been at Turf Moor since 2014, with any such move meaning the winger would be reunited with Villa boss Steve Bruce who he played under during his spell at Hull City.
