Aston Villa will find out on Friday whether they can sign their second goalkeeper in the space of five days when Brad Guzan has his application for a work permit considered by the Home Office.
Villa agreed earlier this month to sign Guzan from Major Soccer League side Chivas USA in a deal believed to be worth around £2million.
The midlands club have already completed the signing of another American goalkeeper in Brad Friedel who has joined from Blackburn for £3million on a three-year contract.
