Aston Villa are being linked with former Arsenal star Alexander Hleb who looks set to leave Barcelona in the summer.
The Belarusian is currently on loan at Stuttgart but has ruled out a permanent move to the German outfit at the end of the season following a bust up with their manager Christian Gross.
A move away from Barca is also on the cards as the player goes in search of first-team football and Villa boss Martin O'Neill could offer him the chance of a return to the Premier League.
Hleb now admits it was a big mistake to leave Arsenal but could now get another crack at England if Villa follow up their reported interest in the player.
Milan giants AC and Inter are also thought to be keen but Hleb would prefer to return to the Premier League if possible.
