Villa, Newcastle and Milan all reportedly want to sign Salvatore Sirigu

Sirigu, 28, is seeking a new club after losing his place in Laurent Blanc's XI to summer signing Kevin Trapp.

Both Aston Villa and Newcastle are said to be seeking goalkeeping recruits during the January transfer window.

Who could join a Premier League side in January

The Magpies have lost first-choice stopper Tim Krul for the rest of the season through injury.

And with Steve McClaren's men battling relegation, it is believed recruits at the back is the manager's top priority over the winter.

As for Villa, new French boss Remi Garde is reportedly assessing the squad in anticipation of spending come January.

But Sirigu will not come cheap, with reports claiming the former Palermo goalkeeper has a £300,000-a-month contract in Paris and would command a similar fee in the Premier League.
