Aston Villa have resumed talks to sign Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich.

Villa still believe they can finalise an agreement for the midfielder, despite interest from Newcastle United, seeking a season-long loan with an option.

The Athletic reported last week Bayern wanted a €30million fee, either as a permanent or as part of an option at the end of a loan.

West Ham United have rejected a loan offer from Aston Villa for full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Villa made an approach of a straight loan but this was dismissed by West Ham.

Villa had been exploring a deal for Wan-Bissaka in recent weeks, with manager Unai Emery keen to strengthen at right-back and provide competition for Matty Cash.

Senegal have announced the appointment of Patrick Vieira as their new head coach.

The permanent job has been vacant since Senegal sacked Pape Thiaw, in charge since 2024, after the national team’s round-of-32 World Cup exit in July.

Aston Villa are working to finalise an agreement with West Ham United for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Villa are negotiating an initial loan with an option to buy, after The Athletic reported earlier on Tuesday that a straight loan offer had been rejected.

The move is not yet finalised but Villa are now working to close the deal, and add Wan-Bissaka to Unai Emery’s squad before the start of the season
