Holland international Ron Vlaar is excited about a possible switch to Aston Villa.
The Feyenoord defender, 27, held talks with Villa boss Paul Lambert over the weekend and admits it would be a “dream” to swap the Eredivisie for the Premier League.
He told De Telegraaf newspaper: “Joining Aston Villa would be a dream come true. I look forward to the Premier League but I will miss Feyenoord.
“I feel at home at De Kuip and although both me personally and the club have had a lot of ups and downs, we have maintained a good relationship.
“The stadium, the fans, my teammates and staff…if the deal goes through I will miss them.”
Vlaar has won nine caps for Holland and, should he sign, will boost Villa’s defensive ranks weakened by Carlos Cuellar’s move to Sunderland.
