da bwin： Leeds United are likely to sign Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton this summer, according to Football Whispers.
What’s the word?
da pixbet： The website provides a rating out of 5 on how likely it is for one player to end up at another club before the end of the window.
In this case, Hutton has a score of 2.6, which puts him second in the list of Leeds’ probable signings this summer.
The 33-year-old is in a difficult situation at Villa as he has been a regular feature in Steve Bruce’s side this season, but his contract is due to expire in a few months’ time.
At the moment, there are no indications as to whether he will be handed fresh terms, and it could come down to whether the club achieve promotion to the Premier League or not.

Would Hutton be good for Leeds?
The defender has spent the majority of the current Championship campaign in the right-back position, but he can also play on the left.
Despite being in his early 30s, Hutton has put in decent performances in his 27 league outings, 25 of which have been starts.
Leeds look set to miss out on the playoffs yet again as they reside 12 points adrift of the top six, and they have the 10th-worst defence in the division having conceded 57 goals.
Hutton would certainly provide experience and stability at the back if Paul Heckingbottom was to make a move when the transfer window opened.
