Aston Villa eye shock move for Liverpool flop
ASTON VILLA are considering giving Daniele Padelli the chance to return to the Premier League, according to reports.
Padelli made just one appearance for Liverpool but may be handed a redemptive return by Garde
Padelli was signed on loan from Samdoria by Liverpool in 2007 but played just one game for the club.
"He's a good young goalkeeper who has been selected for his national side," then-Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez said.
"Padelli will give us a good option for the future.
And with Brad Guzan struggling behind an ever-changing defence, Garde could be looking to Padelli to provide some inspiration to his side.
But he is set to face competition for the 30-year-old from Italian club Frosinone which could see the price driven up in the last days of the January transfer window.
