Transfer speculation continues to mount as Mason Mount has been linked in recent days with a move to Aston Villa. The midfielder, currently playing for Man Utd, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Aston Villa appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. So far this season, Aston Villa are steady at both ends (1.41 goals scored per game, 1.04 goals conceded per game). The role for Mason Mount would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Man Utd have also been linked with Pape Alassane Gueye, Morgan Gibbs-White and Edmond Tapsoba while Aston Villa are reportedly monitoring Trevoh Chalobah, Ruud Nijstad and Castello Lukeba.
