Cottagers boss Martin Jol is desperate to land a striker who will take some of the pressure off last season's leading scorer Dimitar Berbatov.
Bent was reportedly the subject of a 4million bid from Fulham last month, which was rejected by Villa, but Sky sources understand they have made an improved offer of around 5million.
Newcastle were also linked with the 29-year-old but their interested has cooled, with Alan Pardew linked with a move for QPR's Loic Remy.
Bent was a peripheral figure for Aston Villa last season, mainly due to the impact made by Christian Benteke, and they have further strengthened their attacking options this summer.
Bent cost Villa a club record 18million - rising to 24million - when they signed him from Sunderland in 2011. He has two years remaining on his contract at Villa Park.
