Aston Villa are in talks to sign Burnley set-piece coach Pal Fjelde, according to the Daily Mail Sport team.

Villa lost set-piece coach Austin MacPhee to Chelsea last month, and the 32-year-old Fjelde would replace him.

Fjelde joined Burnley last year and has also served as Norway's set-piece coach since June 2022.
