O'Neill target Routledge undergoes Villa medical

Tottenham Hotspur winger Wayne Routledge is undergoing a medical at Aston Villa as the final step of his proposed transfer to the Midlands club, according to reports.

The England Under-21 international has been unsettled at White Hart Lane for some time after failing to make an impact and is searching for first team football.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill sees the 23-year-old as an equally pacy alternative for the likes of Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ashley Young, who are key players for the Villans.

Routledge would become O'Neill's first signing of the transfer window but ambitious, London-based Championship side Queens Park Rangers are also bidding for the winger.
