Reports reveal http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-States-c3034 goalkeeper, is close to returning to English Premier League side Aston Villa.
With the arrival of new manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Lambert, there are set to be many changes at the club, amongst which could be the arrival of Guzan at the club. The USA international parted ways with the English Premier League side at the end of last season after the
two parties failed to reach an agreement.
Former Aston Villa manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 McLeish did not work towards getting Guzan back, but his replacement Lambert is eager to resign the stopper. He is known to be an admirer of the American goalkeeper and is reportedly close to having him sign for the club once
again.
The Villans will be aiming to sign Guzan before they start their summer tour of America, but a deal could still go through even after their pre-season tour.
The 27-year-old first joined Aston Villa in 2008 for a fee of 1.2 million dollars from MLS side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brad-Friedel-c7953.
Guzan made his debut for Aston Villa in September in the League Cup fixture against Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314, making his debut in the UEFA Cup a few months later in November. His performance was hailed by then manager Martin O’Neill who described him as a “class
goalkeeper in the making.”
The American stopper featured for the Villans in every game they managed a win in during the Peace Cup 2009, against the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Atlante-c38537, Porto and Juventus. Despite praise worthy performances, Guzan was dropped from the first team in favour of Friedel.
In the 2010-2011 season, Guzan was loaned out to Hull City in the Football league Championship. He made 16 appearances for them before returning to Aston Villa to make eight appearances in the 2011-2012 season. Even though he was released by the club, it
seems the Premier League side wants him back.
Talks are reportedly on-going and his future will be decided in the upcoming days, preferably in 12 days before Aston Villa leave for their pre-season tour.
