Things have been slow and steady for Aston Villa in the transfer window so far – but it could be about to ramp up.
Unai Emery is still in the market for a few names to strengthen his Aston Villa squad as they look to push for a Champions League place in the second half of the season.
A striker is arguably needed as back-up to Ollie Watkins, should the prolific goalscorer become injured at any point in the Premier League season. A right-back potentially is also on the cards.
Could there be one on the horizon? Or will we see players departing Villa Park? Here’s all the latest transfer gossip – brought to you by Aston Villa News.

Or finally… a defender for the Villans?
Just to cover all bases, it appears Villa are also looking at an unorthodox defensive option.
Villa are said to be one of the Premier League teams who are interested in signing a League One defender.
At 20 years old he has already made 117 appearances – he’s one for the future…
