New Aston Villa boss, Alex McLeish, will move for Manchester City's Shay Given in a £4million swoop.

McLeish has moved swiftly to solve his goalkeeping crisis by tabling a bid for the Republic of Ireland international.

McLeish has identified Given as the No. 1 choice to succeed Brad Friedel, who quit earlier this month to join Premier League rivals Tottenham.
