Aston Villa have joined Bournemouth in the chase for England goalkeeper Jack Butland, Sky Sports News understands.
However, it is thought a bid in excess of £20m would be needed to persuade Stoke City to sell him.
Butland still has two years left on his Stoke contract, but the club’s player of the season is keen on a move back to the Premier League - or abroad - in order to improve his chances with the national team.
