Aston Villa believe they can now sign ‘incredible’ player this summer – report
Aston Villa are planning to make another bid to sign Emile Smith Rowe, according to the Sunday Mirror (printed edition – 04/07/2021), The 20-year-old, who made his debut against Chelsea last season and impressed heavily in the second half, has a contract at the club until 2023. He is yet to sign a new deal at Arsenal, but the north London club are determined to tie him down to a long term deal. He is a terrific young talent, and the club do not want to sell him to a Premier League rival. Arsenal rejected Villa’s opening offer of £25 million earlier this month, and another £30m bid was turned down once again last week. However, Villa believe they can sign the youngster, and they are preparing another bid of around £32.5m. This is probably an indication that Villa may have rec...
Report: Player ‘keen on a move’ to Aston Villa, sees club as an ‘upgrade’
Aston Villa are interested in luring James Ward-Prowse from Southampton this summer and have been given a boost in their pursuit for his signature. Football Insider say the 26-year-old is ‘keen on a move’ to Villa Park and sees the Midlands outfit as an ‘upgrade’ on Southampton. It’s good news for Villa but bad news for the Saints as they don’t want to lose such an important player. Ward-Prowse made 44 appearances in all competitions last season and had a hand in 16 goals. He captains Southampton and was named in England’s provisional squad for the 2020 European Championships before missing out, so he’s not had a bad year at all. Even if the central midfielder wants to leave, however, Southampton still hold the cards. Ward-Prowse has four years left on his deal at St Mary’s, so the South C...

Liverpool could end up signing two players from the same club, including 16-goal striker
Liverpool have bolstered their defence this summer by signing Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig for around £35 million. According to Goal.com, the Reds could make at least two more signings, but it’s the ‘wait and see’ period at the moment. The Reds need to sell some of their players to recoup funds for new arrivals. And they are keeping tabs on two players from the same club – Aston Villa. Bolstering the midfield is key for the Reds.

Aston Villa keeping tabs on 25-yr-old Spurs ace, 21-yr-old winger on their radar as well
Aston Villa are looking to improve their midfield options this summer and are keeping tabs on Harry Winks, Todd Cantwell and Dwight McNeil. According to the Telegraph, Roma are keen on signing Douglas Luiz from Villa this summer, and Dean Smith is looking at potential replacements. Winks has struggled to hold down a regular starting berth at Tottenham this past season and could prove a smart signing for Villa. The 25-year-old is very good at recycling possession and controlling the tempo of the game. He could be an ideal foil for John McGinn. The interest in Cantwell seems surprising, with Jack Grealish the undisputed starter in his position for Villa. Unless Grealish leaves the club this summer, Cantwell’s signing would not make sense for the Midlands club. As far as McNeil is considered,...

Report: £10m int’l will ‘push for a move’ after Euro, Leeds and Villa want him

The 20-year-old has done really well playing as cover for Trent Alexander-Arnold over the past campaign. The youngster is a regular member of the Wales national team and wants to play regularly at club level. While he is a bright talent, it’s difficult for him to dislodge Alexander-Arnold from the starting line-up.

Gabriel Agbonlahor shares how he’d react if Grealish leaves for Man City
