Aston Villa will try and capture Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham for £25m ($33m) if they make the step up to England's top-flight, according to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/05/12/aston-villa-looking-sign-chelsea-loanee-tammy-abraham-25m-secure/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> Abraham has scored 26 goals this year for the Birmingham club, including the penalty that gives them a slender advantage over West Brom in their Championship playoff semi-final.

Jack Butland will leave Stoke City this summer to return to the Premier League, with Crystal Palace and Bournemouth the most likely destinations, say the <a href="https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-transfer-news-butland-bournemouth-2855276">Stoke Sentinel.</a> Butland refused to leave Stoke after their relegation in 2018 unless a top six club came for him, but now he sees his international chances slipping away in the Championship he will move to any top flight team.
