A pleasure to answer some @theathleticfc.bsky.social subscriber questions earlier. The transcript can be found below. Ranging from SCR, potential loans and, of course, incomings - Nicolas Jackson being the leading striker target. #AVFC https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7537545/202

🚨 Aston Villa are focusing their efforts on signing Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea as they prepare for life after Ollie Watkins. No bid has been made for Jackson at this stage, nor has a deal been agreed for Watkins to join Al-Hilal, but further movement is inevitable soon. #AVFC

#AVFC are hopeful of agreeing a deal to sign Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge on loan with an obligation to buy. With a clear gap in valuation between Villa and Southampton for Taylor Harwood-Bellis, they have pushed for Ordonez. After @jacobtanswell.bsky.social. https://www.birming

New: #AVFC progressing in deal to sign Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge. Negotiations centre on initial loan with €30m obligation. 22yo long admired & Villa pursuing. #SaintsFC have informed Villa of price for Taylor Harwood-Bellis - PL club currently unwilling to reach. @theathleti

Aston Villa & Milan have had initial exploratory contacts regarding Rafael Leão. He has not yet received an official approach. For now, the operation is in its early stages. @MatteMoretto #AVFC

If Ollie Watkins' last act as an Aston Villa player was to choose not to play for the club, then it's a crying shame that this will be a lasting memory of a player who became a legend on that night in Istanbul three months ago. #AVFC https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/footbal

Aston Villa are interested in Rafael Leao. No offer for now has arrived at AC Milan, as Galatasaray remain the only club that has made a proposal in recent weeks. @lucabianchin7 #AVFC

Aston Villa are coming to Club Brugge In the coming hours to finalise Joel Ordoñez’s move. Talks are ongoing over a loan with an obligation to buy worth around €30M. The key issue to resolve is how the purchase obligation will be triggered. @sachatavolieri #AVFC
