The 21-year-old right-back has made 11 appearances for Villa this season but only six have been starts, with the Blues understood to be exploring the possibility of a loan deal.
He is contracted until the summer of 2021.
Manager Paul Lambert has been in the market for a right-back for much of January, with Matthew Pennington currently filling that position having impressed in the centre of defence for much of the season.
Jordan Spence played every game under Lambert until the FA Cup defeat at Accrington Stanley, but has not been involved since.
