Aston Villa have been credited with interest in Folarin Balogun, but Stan Collymore has told GOAL why Unai Emery is likely to favour another 2026 World Cup star over a United States international that made plenty of headlines at FIFA’s flagship event. The Villans are looking to bolster their ranks from back to front during the summer, with comings and goings being mooted.

Belgium’s World Cup dream has been hit by a devastating setback after midfielder Amadou Onana was ruled out with a serious knee injury. The Aston Villa star suffered the blow during the Red Devils' round-of-16 victory over the United States, leaving Rudi Garcia with a major selection headache ahead of their quarter-final against Spain.

Paris Saint-Germain starlet Ibrahim Mbaye has put several Premier League heavyweights on high alert after indicating his desire to leave the Parc des Princes this summer. The 18-year-old winger, who enjoyed a historic breakthrough during the 2026 World Cup with Senegal, is reportedly ready to seek a fresh start to secure regular first-team football.

Tony Cascarino has admitted to GOAL that “big players have always moved”, but the former Aston Villa striker is still annoyed at the slightly baffling situation that sees Morgan Rogers generating intense transfer talk. The England international is seeing a big-money move to Arsenal speculated on, with the Villans needing to sanction sales in order to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
