Pulis, now in charge of Middlesbrough, has been linked with the 30-year-old who has been at Villa Park for the past 18 months.

The Iceland international has been in and out of the Villa side since arriving from Swiss side FC Basel in January last year.

He has also been strongly linked with a possible move to Turkey with Trabzonspor as Villa look to cut their wage bill amid the club’s ongoing cash crisis.
