Aston Villa target Hull City Michael Turner in swap deal

Aston Villa and Hull are locked in transfer talks that could lead to a swap deal involving Michael Turner and Luke Young.

The Tigers have enquired about right-back Luke Young. Villa's response is to demand centre-back Turner to be the central piece in an exchange.

Turner was one of only two players to appear in every minute of his team's Premier League campaign last season. His performances for Hull emphasised his progress since the days when he was playing for Leyton Orient and Brentford.
