Aston Villa have struggled to find their feet so far this season, with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday extended their winless run to five matches.

Steve Bruce's side begun the campaign with two consecutive victories over Hull City and Wigan Athletic but have since seen their form decline dramatically, which leaves them at risk of slipping out of the battle for promotion.

As such, the Villans are reportedly seeking the addition of a new defender and reports have suggested that the club are considering securing free-agent Steven Caulker in to provide some much-needed experience in defence.

Still just 26, Caulker has endured a major fall from grace in recent years and most recently played in Scotland with Dundee United but has also spent time with Tottenham Hotspur, QPR and even Liverpool during Jurgen Klopp's reign.

Available for nothing, many fans believe he is worth a punt and we have gathered some of the best reactions from social media below.
