Aston Villa manager Remi Garde has confirmed reports that the club are hoping to sign former England international Ashley Cole in the January transfer window.
The ex-Chelsea and Arsenal defender is in the final year of his contract at Roma but is out of favour at the Italian club having not featured so far this season.
Meanwhile, Garde is desperate to add experience to his squad as he prepares to quip his side for their inevitable fight for Premier League surreal, and the boss believes the 34-year-old will be the perfect addition.
Villa are also in need of a left-back after Jordan Amavi suffered a season-ending cruciate knee ligament injury last month.
“I will speak soon with the club. I am already working on the January window” said Garde ahead of Sunday's home against his former club Arsenal.
“We know what we want to do. I feel we will need to improve the team to get more chances [of staying up].
“Experience is something we need. Ashley is someone who has experience but he didn't play for a while now.
“Every good player is interesting for me and he is a good player.
“We are going to try to improve the team in the transfer window but that is all I am going to say today. We have other games to try to win and I am only focused on that.”
