Championship side Barnsley could be set to sign Aston Villa midfielder Gary Gardner, according to Alan Nixon on Twitter.
The midfielder has spent much of his career on loan with various clubs, and has enjoyed spells with Nottingham Forest, who have been one of the clubs linked with making a permanent move for him over the summer.
However, it now appears that Barnsley could be set to jump to the front of the queue to sign Gardner, with manager Paul Heckingbottom keen to add reinforcements to his squad before the end of transfer window.
Gardner has still only made just shy of 40 appearances for the Villans, despite being with the club since 2011. His loan spells with Forest over the last two seasons have been his most successful spells in his career thus far, with spells at Brighton, Sheffield Wednesday, and Coventry City earlier in his career all helping his development too.
The box to box midfielder would no doubt be an excellent signing for Barnsley, who have been searching for a quality central midfielder since losing Conor Hourihane to Villa in January last season.

After watching second half saturday. I thought we got bullied in the middle as Williams got tired and lost a bit of discipline. I'd be all for a Gardner or Lowe doing the ugly side like Scowen n' Morsy used to do. Now we have Thiam, Bradshaw, Payne, Hedges, Ugbo and Brown knocking on the door i'm changing my tune n' agreeing the midfield is a bit lightweight and takes priority again with a seasoned centre back coming in as well. As Hecky said in pre season we do the pretty side quite well we just need to put tackles in.

Reinforcement definitely? WHY have they all been signed in first place Poggy?

Gary Gardner is a player that remains on Barnsley’s radar at this late stage of the transfer window.
Paul Heckingbottom is desperately trying to bolster his Barnsley squad between now and the end of the summer, having seen a number of high-profile players leave already.
Gardner is on Barnsley’s radar, with Heckingbottom watching the midfielder in Aston Villa’s victory over Wigan Athletic in the Carabao Cup.
The midfielder is set to leave Aston Villa this summer, as he doesn’t feature in Steve Bruce’s plans at Villa Park.
