With loan transfer window closing this coming Friday, Aston Villa are hugely involved in the last dregs of the rumour mill and centre-half remains a hot topic for debate.

Villa have been linked with a move for 20-year-old Le Harve defender Harold Moukoudi.

It’s claimed we have made a 9million Euro offer for the player and he’d join us on loan with the permanent deal coming into play next January and he is in his final 12 months of his contract with the French club.

The Birmingham Mail deal with loose speculation linking us with a deal for Gary Cahill and whilst it would be nice to square that circle, I can’t see the 32-year-old dropping into the Championship yet.

As the Mail report, manager Maurizio Sarri speaks about fitness levels, so it doesn’t sound like he’s not in his plans really. But maybe a short loan spell is the thought – assuming there’s any truth to this speculation.

With Tommy Elphick again slowly turning into a forgotten man at Villa Park with Mile Jedinak preferred in defence, the Mail also cover his future.

It’s going to be a busy few days on a speculation front is my guess, and most of them will be completely baseless.
