Aston Villa may have found their goalkeeper in Lovre Kalinic. The Sun report that Remi Garde's
side are close to a deal with Hajduk Split for the keeper and it is
expected to be finalised in the next 48 hours. The £5m transfer would
mark Aston Villa's first move of the January window. Brad Guzan has struggled for the Villans, leading Mark Bunn
to take his place, but Garde wants to sign a goalkeeper that can
potentially bypass both and the club believe Kalinic could be the man to
do just that.
Paper Round's view - Aston Villa most
definitely need a new goalkeeper. Guzan has been abysmal and Bunn isn't
good enough to start for a Premier League team. If the Villans are going
to mount a fight and potentially stay in the top flight, they'll need
better goalkeeping than they have gotten so far. Kalinic is
well-regarded and has proven himself to be a quality shot-stopper.
Whether he can adjust to the Premier League and develop a relationship
with the Villa defence could determine how much help he actually proves to be in the relegation battle.
