Aston Villa ‘watching’ 30-year-old as midfielder could head out the exit door

Aston Villa will be looking forward to playing in the Europa Conference League next season. Unai Emery guided them to a 7th place finish in the Premier League last term.

The former Arsenal boss will be looking to put his own stamp on the squad this summer when the transfer window opens. In the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours regarding the club...

Defender eyed

Aston Villa are reportedly keen on Manchester United defender Harry Maguire and could try and bring him to Villa Park on loan, according to The Sun. The report claims that the Midlands outfit are ‘watching’ developments as the England international faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford.

The former Hull City and Sheffield United man has slipped down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag over recent times. Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with him.

Midfielder available for transfer

The Athletic report that Aston Villa will look to ‘offload’ Morgan Sanson following Youri Tielemans’ arrival from Leicester City. The Frenchman has struggled to make an impact since moving to England and will be given the green light to head out the exit door over the next couple of months if the right offer comes in for him.

Marvelous Nakamba is also expected to leave on a permanent basis after helping Luton Town gain promotion from the Championship against the odds. Leander Dendoncker is also said to be attracting interest from elsewhere from other teams.
