Aston Villa have not exactly been the busiest club in the world in this January transfer window.

Unai Emery has seemingly decided to put faith in his first-team squad as they propel through the rest of the Premier League season in their conquest for Champions League football.

But after an embarrassing loss at Villa Park to Newcastle United on Tuesday night, have the manager and coaching staff changed their minds on a few potential deals?

So, with this in mind – here are three potential deadline-day 2024 deals that could still happen for Aston Villa.

Ben Jacobs via GIVEMESPORT has suggested that Aston Villa have ‘made an enquiry’ to sign Armando Broja.

The Chelsea striker has struggled for game time this season at Stamford Bridge and could link up with Emery and his coaching staff at Bodymoor Heath as Villa look to kick on until the end of the season.

Particularly, with some recent news – a striker deal may need to come to fruition.

Jhon Duran is a striker who has been linked with a move away from The Villans in January and could be crucial in the Broja deal on deadline day.

There hasn’t been a shortage of rumours suggesting that Duran wants a move away from B6 this window. With interest coming from AC Milan, West Ham United and Chelsea, he had plenty of suitors looking for his signature.

However, has some injury news scuppered his and Villa’s chances?

A slightly unorthodox deadline day could come into play on deadline day, with Emery looking at a third goalkeeper alongside Emiliano Martinez and Robin Olsen.

One of the only Villa departures so far this month has been Filip Marschall to MK Dons, meaning another potential shot-stopper is needed.

According to Sky Sports News, Villa have chosen Adelaide United shot-stopper Joe Gauci. More on this below.
