Crystal Palace duo Joe Ledley and Mile Jedinak are being targeted by Championship side Aston Villa, according to reports.

Villa hope to bolster their squad before the summer window closes in a bid to secure automatic promotion back to the Premier League following last season’s dire relegation.

Their 2016/17 campaign got off to a poor start at the weekend as they were beaten 1-0 at Sheffield Wednesday.

The Telegraph say Villa are desperate to land a central midfielder this month and are keen on Palace’s Ledley and Jedinak.

The midfield pair have made over 200 collective league appearances for the Eagles but have now entered the final years of their contracts at Selhurst Park.

Jedinak, 32, who joined Palace in 2011, recently handed the captain’s armband over to defender Scott Dann.

However, the Australia international insisted last week that he has no immediate plans to leave Alan Pardew’s side.
