Unconfirmed reports suggest that negotiations over the transfer of Youssouf Fofana are ongoing, with Aston Villa pushing to land the midfielder from Milan to strengthen their squad. Discussions are said to be constructive, with the structure of the deal - including add-ons and bonuses - now under consideration, although there is currently no confirmation of an agreed fee for the player. The player is aware of the interest and would reportedly be open to the move, should personal terms be agreed. Tottenham and Galatasaray may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Aston Villa look balanced this season - 1.38 goals scored and 1.24 goals conceded per game. Youssouf Fofana would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Milan continue to be linked with Manuel Ugarte, Mario Gila and Noah Atubolu while Aston Villa are also rumoured to be tracking Enzo Le Fee, Alejandro Balde Martinez and Curtis Jones.
