Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing Charlton Athletic attacker Miles Leaburn following the player's goalscoring exploits in League One this season.
The 19-year-old has netted 11 times for the Addicks in 31 third-tier appearances - although only 14 of those have been starts for the ex-Chelsea youngster.
Scoring on his debut for Charlton during a 2-2 draw at Accrington Stanley in July, Leaburn has continued to impress for the London-based club despite Dean Holden's men failing to challenge for a place in the playoffs this season.
According to Birmingham Live, Aston Villa have been alerted to the form of Leaburn this season, however the West Midlands club are likely to face competition from other Premier League outfits for his signature.
It is said Charlton are prepared to receive offers for the youngster in this summer's transfer window, with Unai Emery's Europe-chasing Villans amongst those interested in the player.
Leaburn and his Addicks teammates will be looking to bounce back from their 6-0 defeat at Ipswich Town on Saturday when they travel to MK Dons on Tuesday night in League One.
