Jean-Philippe Mateta has reportedly told Crystal Palace he wants to leave Selhurst Park as the France striker believes the club do not match his ambitions. He is angry that promises regarding player recruitment and terms in a potential new contract have not been kept. It is believed the 28-year-old wants regular European football, and that he was recently the subject of an offer from Juventus.
Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly lining up a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentina international has been a regular at Villa Park since joining the club in 2020 and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, the 33-year-old has been regularly linked with a transfer away from Villa in the past few years, especially during the most recent summer window, and now Inter are considering him as a potential replacement for current shot-stopper Yann Sommer.
Unai Emery conducted a âweirdâ interview after seeing Aston Villa suffer a disappointing home defeat to Everton, with the Spaniard claiming that his high-flying team are ânot top-five contendersâ in the Premier League. His comments, and behaviour, raised eyebrows with Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp.
Unai Emery has explained why Jadon Sancho was not included in Aston Villa's squad to face Everton on Sunday evening. Sancho joined the Villans on loan from Manchester United in September but has struggled for regular game time at Villa Park. Indeed, he has started just two league matches this season, with the majority of his minutes coming in the Europa League.
A Real Madrid star has been linked with a shock move to Aston Villa after Unai Emery's side missed out on Conor Gallagher. The Villans have been in the market for a new midfielder but just when it seemed they were favourites to sign the Atletico Madrid man, he joined Tottenham instead. Now, the Premier League title hopefuls have set their sights on another midfield option.
Unai Emery's side are set to dip into the transfer window to sign a replacement for Donyell Malen. The Dutch star is heading to Serie A to join Roma after just a year in the West Midlands. Aston Villa are hoping to replace Malen by making a shock move for a former Chelsea and AC Milan star and are willing to offer a long-term contract at Villa Park.
Morgan Rogers is being tipped to complete a stunning ÂŁ80 million ($107m) transfer to a Premier League powerhouse at some point in the not too distant future. Former Villans striker Stan Collymore has explained to GOAL why the England international will likely be on the move in upcoming windows and which teams will be leading the chase for his signature.
Sol Campbell has backed Unai Emery as a potential solution to Man Utdâs crisis, labelling the Spaniard a "proven" option who understands big-club pressure. As Michael Carrick steps in following Ruben Amorim's sacking, Campbell insists United need a steady hand to break their "loop" of failure, identifying Emery as someone who can finally appease the board.
Tottenham appear primed to hijack Aston Villa's proposed move for Atletico Madrid star Conor Gallagher. Unai Emery's side have been on the lookout for more strength in depth as they try to keep touch in the Premier League title race, while also competing for cups this season. But it seems Spurs may pip them to the post on one recruit, days after losing to the Villans in the FA Cup.
Macclesfield FC will welcome the Premier League's Brentford to their Moss Rose home in the next round of the 2025-26 FA Cup after the fourth round draw handed the non-league side another glamorous tie against top flight opposition. The Silkmen sensationally beat holders Crystal Palace in the third round to complete one of the greatest FA Cup shocks of all-time.
Micky van de Ven defended Tottenham and Aston Villa's fracas at the end of their FA Cup third round tie, but sent a blunt warning to his Spurs team-mates that they cannot only show "this passion" when they are losing, having gone into half-time 2-0 down.
Tottenham Hotspur saw their injury crisis worsen after Brazil international Richarlison limped out of their FA Cup third-round tie with Aston Villa on Saturday evening. The north Londoners are now sweating on the fitness of the 28-year-old striker, who had to be replaced midway through the first half after picking up a suspected hamstring problem.
Aston Villa are considering a move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher as Unai Emery looks to strengthen his squad this month. Gallagher moved to the Liga giants last summer, and played an influential role for Diego Simeone's side in his debut campaign at the Wanda Metropolitano. However, the former Chelsea man has struggled for game time this season.

Aston Villa have struck a stunning agreement to sign 16-year-old Metz prodigy Brian Madjo in a deal worth a reported ÂŁ10.4 million. The highly-coveted forward has arrived in the West Midlands to undergo his medical after club chiefs orchestrated a surprise move behind the scenes, beating top European rivals to secure the teenager on a long-term five-year contract.
Unai Emery has revealed Aston Villa signed Victor Lindelof on a free transfer following a glowing recommendation from his former Manchester United team-mate Juan Mata. Lindelof left United after an eight-year stay last summer and decided to stay in the Premier League with a switch to Emery's Villa, where he has become a key figure in defence.
Morgan Rogers has been warned he may lack the character required to succeed at Manchester United by club legend Dwight Yorke amid intense speculation linking the Aston Villa forward with a move to Old Trafford. The Treble winner suggests the 23-year-old is merely the "flavour of the month" and questions if he possesses the soul to handle the magnitude of representing the Red Devils.
Harvey Elliott looks like he has already played his last Aston Villa game as manager Unai Emery revealed the decision over his future was made months ago. The playmaker swapped Liverpool for the Villans on a season-long loan move but he has barely featured for the West Midlands outfit this season. The 22-year-old is now stuck between a rock and a hard place amid his uncertain future.
