Cheikh N'Doye

There are various reports that Villa are lining up a move for Angers midfielder Cheikh N'Doye.

The Senegalese midfielder, 30, only signed for the Ligue 1 side last summer, but impressed enough to attract a number of potential suitors.

It's thought he wanted a move to England in January, but was persuaded to stay and helped the side finish ninth.

He scored nine times last season, but also received two red cards in the course of the campaign.

N'Doye has previously played for Epinal and Creteil.

Joleon Lescott

The Scottish Sun reckon Rangers are working on a deal to sign Joleon Lescott.

Lescott had a truly forgettable season at Villa Park last season, and has been relegated to Roberto Di Matteo's U23 squad.

Rangers, under Mark Warburton, have returned to the Scottish Premiership this season and have taken four points from their opening two games.
