Aston Villa have options to buy three of their star loan signings — but Axel Tuanzebe isn’t one of them.

Last week's Championship play-off final winners have agreements with the parent clubs of a trio who have helped boss Dean Smith steer them back into the big-time after three years away.

The moves of Tyrone Mings, Kortney Hause and Anwar El Ghazi can all be made permanent, subject to the deals being given the go-ahead by Villa’s top brass.

But the club has been told to forget making any approach for Manchester United's Tuanzebe as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be giving the 21-year-old centre-half a full pre-season to gauge his development.

Mings, who was pictured going home to top-flight Bournemouth still in his claret and blue kit the day after the Wembley win over Derby, is the signing most keenly coveted by Villa fans.

It is understood the Cherries have given Villa the chance to at least match any offer they receive for the centre-half. That will ensure that, as long as Villa can equal any financial offers Mings gets from elsewhere, Smith will get his man.

El Ghazi, who scored the first goal in a 2-1 victory over Frank Lampard's Rams, was available for £7m when he was brought in by then-boss Steve Bruce last summer.

Villa can also trigger that move from French club Lille if Smith sees the Dutch forward as part of his plans – and it is a similar situation with Wolves defender Hause.

Striker Tammy Abraham , who scored 25 league goals on loan from Chelsea , will be allowed to return to Villa Park, but not on another temporary deal — the Blues will push for a permanent transfer.

A fee of £25m has been mooted for the England international, and Villa chief executive Christian Purslow was seen in the Wembley stands imploring Abraham to stay with the Midlands club within minutes of promotion being secured.

It has also emerged that John McGinn, voted Man of the Match in the play-off final victory, was scouted by Villa SIXTEEN times before the decision was taken to spend £2.75m signing him from Edinburgh side Hibernian.
