Morgan Rogers is Arsenal’s leading target, and the player keen on the move. No developments yet with Aston Villa, but Arsenal are now expected to bid. @JacobsBen #AVFC #AFC

AC Milan targeted Matty Cash before signing Emerson Royal two summers ago. Since then, the Brazilian's career has stalled, but at 27, Unai Emery and Roberto Olabe will believe he can still rediscover the level he showed at Real Betis, should a deal be agreed. 🇧🇷 #AVFC [contains

#AVFC are keen to sign Emerson Royal to compete with Matty Cash and are in contact with Flamengo over a deal. Emerson won both the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirao last year, but has struggled for regular starts since joining Flamengo 12 months ago. https://www.birminghammai

Aston Villa are in talks to sign Flamengo full-back Emerson Royal. Villa are yet to submit a formal offer but have discussed the parameters of a deal. At this stage, Flamengo would be reluctant to sanction a sale of the former Tottenham Hotspur defender. Jacob Tanswell #AVFC

Aston Villa owner Nassef Sawiris is determined to ignore all interest in Morgan Rogers unless he receives offers well above £100m. He looks at the fee of about £120m Manchester City might pay for Anderson sees no reason why he should offer a discount on Rogers. @TomCollomosse

Aston Villa have expressed a strong interest in Jarrod Bowen. #AVFC recently made admiration firmly known but no club-to-club talks. Villa view a deal as currently difficult due to financial limits, but Emery a huge admirer. Jacob Tanswell #AVFC #WHUFC
