Aston Villa have been linked with a shock move for Watford attacker Isaac Success - but chances appear to be receding.

Bleacher Report reported Success would join the claret and blues before the transfer window closed - but that never materialised.

While they could still use the loan market, it is thought for Villa to land Success, Watford will have to sign a striker first.

Success was used as a substitute in Watford's opener against Brighton. Now, reports claim another Hornets striker is on his way out.

Real Valladolid are reportedly looking into signing Watford striker Stefano Okaka before the end of the month.

Okaka was not involved in the Watford opener.

Steve Bruce is in the market for attacking reinforcements with loan approaches made for several players, including Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham and Liverpool’s Sheyi Ojo.

Success, 22, spent last season on loan at Spanish side Malaga after struggling to make an impression following his transfer to the Hornets two years ago.

Success is comfortable playing out wide on the left or as a central striker and would offer Bruce speed and skill in attack.

The one-time Nigeria international is looking for a move to rebuild a career which has stalled somewhat in recent years.

Meanwhile, Celtic supporters are calling for Brendan Rodgers to move to swoop for John Terry.

The ex-Aston Villa centre-back, who made his name at Chelsea, is being eyed as a replacement for defender Dedryck Boyata.

Boyata looks likely to exit Celtic Park.

And now fans of the Scottish Premiership side want Terry.

Writing on Twitter, one fan revealed: "I'd take John Terry."

"I don't love the guy but bring in Terry till end of season," another added, before reasoning: "He may shore up the defence."
