Rumours are swirling around James Garner, with Aston Villa reportedly showing interest in the midfielder currently plying his trade at Everton. With both teams looking to strengthen their squads, the move could have a massive impact on their seasons going forward. Newcastle and Man Utd are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. Aston Villa are only scoring 1.18 goals per game (13 in 11) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. James Garner would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Alongside this, Everton are said to be exploring James Ward-Prowse with Aston Villa likewise connected to Nathan De Cat, Oscar Mingueza and Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues.
