Young has been at Villa Park for four-and-a-half years after joining from Watford but has only one year left on his contract.
His future has been the subject of intense speculation for some time, with a series of sparkling performances last season reportedly attracting the interest of several clubs.
.New Villa manager Alex McLeish admitted earlier this week Young was destined to depart this summer.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson lost long-serving midfielder Paul Scholes to retirement earlier this month and has already signed Blackburn youngster Phil Jones.
