Today, tomorrow and Tuesday - that's all that's left of the summer transfer window.

In the final stages before the deadline arrives, here are the links involving Aston Villa.

Turkey Sanchez

According to Turkish newspaper Fotomac, Carlos Sanchez is a target for Besiktas.

Sanchez was out of favour at the very start of the season, falling behind Ashley Westwood and new boys Idrissa Gueye and Jordan Veretout in the midfield pecking order.

It alerted Besiktas who apparently put the Colombian international on a shortlist of targets.

However, Sanchez is back in favour now and performing well, so it is highly unlikely he will be going anywhere.

Jo go

Joleon Lescott is set to be confirmed as a Villa player very soon, according to claret and blue old boy Stan Collymore.

Jonny Evans's move from Manchester United to West Bromwich Albion has paved the way for Lescott to make the move down the road to Villa Park.

TalkSPORT pundit Collymore tweeted: "Lescott deal to Villa all but done."

V for Victor

It has been reported in the Spanish press that Villa are monitoring midfielder Victor Vázquez.

Like new signing Adama Traore, Vazquez is a product of the Barcelona academy.

The 28-year-old Spaniard has made a name for himself at Club Brugge and was the footballer of the year in Belgium last season.
