English Premiership leaders Aston Villa have made an offer to buy Coventry City captain Dion Dublin.
The move comes as Blackburn Rovers remain the only club to have had a bid accepted by Coventry at £6.75 million even though Dublin yesterday met Newcastle representatives to discuss a move to the North East to join Ruud Gullit's side.
Villa and Newcastle believe they can sign the player for around £5 million if he wants to join them but Coventry do not want to accept a lower price.
