News that midfielder Milot Rashica is set for a last-minute loan move away from Werder Bremen could reignite Aston Villa’s interest.

Rashica, 24, was a player that Villa actively followed last summer. They made an enquiry in September while other clubs were also said to be keen.

Liverpool and RB Leipzig showed an interest but the Kosovo international remained in Germany. The Villans held talks about signing him in September but eventually went for Bertrand Traore.

Smith sets out his stall

Villa managed to get a deal for Morgan Sanson over the line this month. The midfielder penned a four and-a-half year contract with the West Midlanders after joining from Marseille.

Smith made it clear he would only dip into the market if the finances involved were right. That seems to have been the case with Sanson.

While not ruling out further business, he seems content with what he has at Villa Park.

“I said before the January window we wouldn’t be doing very much, unless there was good value out there and we’ve found a really good value offer with Morgan Sanson,” he said.

“I don’t know what the positions are with other clubs but I know we are in a really healthy positions.”

Villa are certainly in a healthy position on the pitch after Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Southampton. Ross Barkley headed the winner on 41 minutes to leave them eighth in the Premier League standings.
