Nottingham Forest are exploring a deal to re-sign Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash. The 28-year-old is among Forest’s options as they look to strengthen the right side of defence. The club have also been pursuing a deal for Manchester City’s Rico Lewis.

Newcastle has bolstered its midfield options ahead of a return to the Champions League by signing midfielder Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for a reported $53 million.

According to reports, Newcastle United face competition from Aston Villa in the race to sign a Chelsea star, while another deal has become 'complicated'.

Should Chelsea fail in their attempt to recruit Simons, the Blues may decide to turn their attentions towards Villa star Rogers instead. Rogers is ‘highly rated by decision-makers at Stamford Bridge’,

Marco Asensio, the 29-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder/forward under contract until 2026, has failed to fully establish himself under coach Luis Enrique. He has therefore been loaned to Aston Villa for the second half of the 2024-25 season.
