Villa could be set for a shock departure in the January transfer window.
According to sources, the agent of one player began working behind the scenes to try to locate his client a new club, which might lead to a surprise departure from Aston Villa in January.
News from Aston Villa: Bailey contract, Watkins departure, injury updates
As Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his forward line in the January transfer window, Arsenal is reportedly keeping an eye on England international Ollie Watkins, according to a transfer update from Spain.
Watkins recently signed a new contract in the Midlands, so any deal involving him leaving Villa Park to move to north London would be challenging for Arsenal to finalise. According to the report, the Gunners may need to make a sizable sale in order to be in a position to pursue the 27-year-old further.
According to Birmingham Live, which was cited by the publication, Unai Emery should be able to welcome Tim Iroegbunam back soon because the youthful player survived the first 60 minutes of the Villans’ EFL Trophy loss without any injuries.
While on international duty, Robin Olsen hasn’t attended all of Sweden’s training sessions and wasn’t included in the starting lineup for their encounter against Moldova last week.
According to a Football Insider story on Aston Villa’s contract news, Leon Bailey is expected to receive a new contract offer at Villa Park. This would provide some certainty regarding his future, as his present contract expires in the summer of 2025. Aston Villa places a high priority on preserving Bailey’s worth, and the Jamaican international now appears to be getting paid for his strong start to the 2023–24 season.
Aston Villa transfer news: the most recent on Youri Tielemans
After meeting with the Turkish powerhouses in the summer to explore a possible transfer, Youri Tielemans’ agent has reportedly been in contact with Galatasaray once more regarding his client’s availability, according to a transfer update from Turkey obtained by Sport Witness.
Tielemans ultimately decided to move on a free transfer from Leicester City to Aston Villa, but his time in the West Midlands has been, to put it mildly, unhappy. Tielemans is yet to make his Premier League debut for the Villans. In the meantime, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has consistently pushed the club’s administration to sign the midfield player because he is eager to bring Tielemans to Istanbul.
The 26-year-old has made 13 appearances for Aston Villa across all competitions, but his performance hasn’t exactly ignited the heather (Tielemans statistics). This is demonstrated by the fact that Tielemans has plenty of opportunity to develop at Villa Park, as seen by the fact that his average match rating in the English top flight is just 6.10/10.
