Brad Guzan was part of the USA squad which reached this summer's Copa America semi-finals

The 31-year-old made 28 appearances as Villa were relegated with the third-lowest points tally in Premier League history this season.

And he shouldered plenty of blame for their top flight exit as part of a backline which conceded 76 goals in 38 games.

That form has reportedly convinced new Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo to go in search of a new number one.
