Fabrizio Romano: Aston Villa make “formal bid” to sign “aggressive” player alongside Rogers
It appears that Aston Villa will have a hectic end to January after having a quiet transfer window thus far.
Rumor has it that they may still sign a number of players. Among them is Middlesbrough’s Morgan Rogers, who might sign before the Midlands team adds a backup for Emiliano Martinez in goal.
Aston Villa transfer news
As to John Percy of The Telegraph, following the rejection of their initial offer by Middlesbrough, who demand that their asking price for the
forward be fulfilled in full in order to approve a transfer this month, Aston Villa have placed a second proposal for Rogers.
In a deal that might proceed all the way to the deadline, the former Manchester City player is definitely someone to keep an eye on.
He’s not the only player that Unai Emery could welcome this month, either, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Aston Villa are set to sign Kosta
Nedeljkovic from Red Star Belgrade, before loaning the defender back to the club for the remainder of the season.
The transfer guru has since kept the good news coming for Villa fans too.
According to Romano, Aston Villa have also sent a formal bid to sign goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson from Swedish club Elfsborg this month.
The Villans have reportedly submitted a bid in excess of €2m (£1.7m) to beat FC Copenhagen’s offer of around €1.7m (£1.45m). Romano posted the news on X, saying:
With just over 10 days to go in the January transfer window, it looks as though Villa could yet welcome as many as three fresh faces for Emery.
“Aggressive” Valdimarsson could be ideal backup to Martinez
Although it is quite doubtful that Valdimarsson would unseat Martinez as Aston Villa’s starting player anytime soon, he might at least give Emery
some reliable support for the Argentine. The Icelandic goalkeeper, who is only 22 years old, still has a lot of potential, giving
Villa the opportunity to develop him into a future star when Martinez is ready to stand down from his position.
Ahead of Valdimarrson’s possible move, Talking Tactics recently discussed him, publishing on X:
Should Aston Villa decide to move forward and Valdimarsson does really excel there, the Midlands club may have found the best deal around,
particularly if Elfsborg accepts their most recent rumored offer of £2 million.
For the remainder of the month, the goalkeeper might be someone to watch.
