Aston Villa are in the midst of a centre-back crisis, with James Chester and Axel Tuanzebe the only recognised centre-backs at Villa Park and the latter currently being played at right-back by manager Steve Bruce.

Instead, the Englishman has been persisting with Chester and defensive-midfielder Mile Jedinak as a centre-back partnership and even allowed Tommy Elphick to go on loan to Hull, but the Birmingham-based side have now leaked 11 goals in just six league games so far.

Because of this, Bruce would be wise to delve into the free-agent market to bolster his options at the back, and 42 per cent of Villa fans wanted the club to sign ex-Leicester man and three-time Premier League winner Robert Huth.

Second in our poll was Steven Caulker, after the 26-year-old left Dundee following a half-season stint that allowed him to get his career back on track following a difficult spell at Queens Park Rangers. The Englishman, who has one cap for his country, has age on his side compared to Huth and 35-year-old James Collins.

Last in our poll with only seven per cent of the votes was the option for Bruce to re-integrate outcast Micah Richards, who incredibly is still under contract at the club. Check out the full results of the poll below.
