Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas is reportedly having a medical at Aston Villa before making a season-long loan move to Villa Park.

Alex McLeish has been looking to strengthen his midfield following the sales of Ashley Young and Stewart Downing and it appears he is keen to add the former Newcastle midfielder to his ranks.

The 28-year-old has found himself well down the pecking order at Tottenham and is reportedly looking to move on to play regular first-team football.
