Aston Villa Very interested now in signing a 'clinical' contract worth £40m Premier League The player, according to the report.
Villa are planning to make multiple signings in January
It could be a busy month at Villa Park Unai Emery Plan to make up to Three signatures In the January transfer window, one of the targets is Borussia Dortmund striker Donyell Malen, who could be available for a fee of around £25m.
Atalanta Matteo Retegui He is another option for Villa, with Emery clearly keen to strengthen attacking areas this winter, but he may also look to strengthen his squad in other areas, and the new midfielder is also interesting.
The Villans are keen to sign Chelsea's Kiernan Dewsbury-HallThe Englishman's career at Stamford Bridge is not over yet, but there may be competition for his signature from a number of other Premier League clubs.
Dewsbury Hall is not the only Premier League player on Emery's list of targets in midfield, as Football Insider reported that Aston Villa are very interested in re-signing Carne Chukwuemeka from Chelsea.
The Blues are willing to agree to Chukwuemeka's departure this winter, and will be looking to receive a fee of around £40m, a figure Villa will not be willing to match.
However, the midfielder remains a tangible target if available for a lower price, having failed to make the squad for any of Chelsea's Premier League matches so far this season.
The 21-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge for a fee of £20m in August 2022, but with the move not working out, he could be on his way back to Villa Park this month.

Chukwuemeka needs to leave Chelsea
The youngster has not had a look under Enzo Maresca, but was showing promising signs before his move to Stamford Bridge, and a return to Villa Park could help him get his career back on track.
The former Chelsea man Marcel Desailly He clearly rates the Austrian-born midfielder very highly, saying: “I love Carne Chukwuemeka because he's like an artist who comes to the stage. He's got the ball. Now is my moment. He shines. You see the dribbling. He's sure of what he's going to do and he's clinical. I love him.”
However, while the former Villa man shows great potential, the alleged asking price of £40m is too steep, given he has yet to establish himself in the Premier League.
Chukwuemeka has made just 37 appearances in the competition in total, making just one appearance 223 minutes Throughout last season. As such, Aston Villa should try to negotiate a lower fee with Chelsea this winter, more similar to the £20m they sold for in 2022.
