According to reports, Taylor Harwood-Bellis's proposed switch to Aston Villa is off, with the defender now set to stay at Southampton. Despite strong links and advanced talks, the transfer has broken down. It's a setback for Aston Villa, who had hoped to strengthen their squad in a key position before the deadline. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Taylor Harwood-Bellis will not join Aston Villa - but interest from Crystal Palace and West Ham could yet reignite. Southampton have also been linked with Anel Ahmedhodzic while Aston Villa are reportedly monitoring Leon Goretzka, Folarin Balogun and Tosin Adarabioyo.
