Aston Villa Football Club are set to enter the race for Scott Loach.

The England Under-21 international is impressing for Watford in the Championship, and he is said to be a January target for Harry Redknapp at Tottenham Hotspur.

With Carlo Cudicini set to miss the rest of the season following a motorbike accident, the Spurs manager is in the market for a new shot-stopper.

The News of the World, however, claim Martin O’Neill is also set to bid for the £3million-rated Loach, 21, who is tipped by some as a full international of the future.
