The transfer mill is churning once again, with Aston Villa believed to be lining up a move for Rayan Vitor Simplício Rocha, the forward from Vasco Gama. Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. Aston Villa remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Aston Villa's 25/26 output of 0.86 goals per game is behind league levels. The addition of Rayan Vitor Simplício Rocha would give them the sharper edge they're missing in front of goal. Speculation continues to connect Aston Villa with Antoine Semenyo, Kang In Lee and Wilson Isidor while no fresh rumours surround Vasco Gama. Looking for Aston Villa transfer rumours?
