Lyon are weighing up a move for Aston Villa striker Milan Baros, manager Gerard Houllier has revealed.

The 25-year-old Czech striker played under Houllier at Liverpool and the Frenchman told the Lyon website: "I can confirm that I have met Baros' agent."

Baros was still at Anfield when he turned down a Lyon offer in 2005.

Houllier said then he wouldn't bid again for the player but he has now reconsidered, saying: "Only idiots never change their minds."

Ligue One leaders Lyon have been hampered by injuries this season.

And Houllier, who signed Baros to Liverpool in December 2001 said: "We need to recruit and I'm glad the club is now working in that direction."

Lyon are definitely major contenders for the European Champions League trophy and having Milan Baros in the team can only strengthen their chances. He's a good striker no doubt and I reckon that he'll be a good inclusion to the team if the right deal is found to ship him over to France.
