Aston Villa wanted Kalou

At 34, Salomon Kalou is enjoying himself at the back end of his career at Hertha Berlin. 

The attacker, who had good seasons at Lille, became well known at Chelsea, a club he joined from Feyenoord.

Kalou played in the Premier League between 2006 and 2012, but was very close to returning to the Premier League this January.

'The Birmingham Mail' reports that Aston Villa wanted to sign him in January. 

The footballer himself admitted that Villa's attempts to sign him were constant throughout the month, but finally the move was not made.
