Aston Villa

Aston Villa's summer target Harold Moukoudi is reported to be back on the club's radar after struggling to keep his place at current club Le Harve.

The 21-year-old was close to making the move to Villa Park in the summer but backed out of the deal opting to remain in France.

Elsewhere, the club are rumoured to still be interested in landing the signature of former Walsall defender Rico Henry.

The Brentford man is a favourite of boss Dean Smith and the pair both made the move from the Banks' Stadium to Griffin Park a number of years ago.

Henry, a former Football League Young Player of the Year nominee, could provide Villa with some much needed strength at left-back.
