Aston Villa are weighing up the possibility of a loan move for Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, according to reports.

The 24-year-old recently featured in FA Cup victories against Newcastle and Woking, but has not started in the Premier League since the start of December, when the Hornets were defeated at home by Manchester City.

It is unclear whether or not Watford would be open to letting the player leave on loan, but earlier this month head coach Javi Gracia said: "When you have a longer squad sometimes you think some players it will be better to be on loan for the rest of the season.

"In this moment if they are with us like the rest of the team, we try to prepare for the next games with these players because I'm sure we are going to need them."
