Aston Villa wants to reinvest the reimbursement of £ 65 million in which they use for Jhon Duran before the end of the transfer window.
And that news would fascinate the attempts of Arsenal to sign Ollie Watkins as the silk goal of Unai Emery Wolves Vooruit Matheus Cunha. Villa will lose Duran on Friday while he completes a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.
Cunha, who is also connected to Arsenal this month, is appreciated at £ 70 million and has a contract that runs until 2027. The Villa Park -outfit quickly wants to reinvest the funds that they bring in to strengthen their urge to European qualification.
In addition to Cunha, Villa still has four other players who are being considered. The conversations will continue about the Joao Felix of Chelsea and Marco Asensio by Paris Saint-Germain, by post.
Bayern Munich Mathys Tel, for those who have seen Spurs an offer that has been accepted, is also considered. The club still has ambitions to sign Axel Disasi from Chelsea.
Duran's exit seemed to leave the possibility that a deal for Watkins is being punished as unlikely, but a new arrival might be able to spell new hope. The Gunners have already seen an offer for the attacker of England.
However, the side of North Londs could still return with a second attempt. Although Aston Villa is reluctant to sell their star forward, it is said that Watkins would be open to the move this month.
The 29-year-old grew up like a fan of Arsenal and has previously admitted that a switch to the Gunners was his dream. However, there is still doubts that Villa would sell Watkins alongside Duran.
Arsenal is desperate to land a new striker before the transfer window closes. Mikel Arteta has admitted that he is short in the forward positions.
“My opinion is clear, we have lost two very, very important players, Bukayo Saka and Gabi Jesus,” he said. “So we miss goals, we miss people, we miss options in the front line, it's clear.
“If we can get the right player, they are what we are actively looking at. Every player? No. Someone who makes us better and has an impact on the team.
“It is clear that for the period that we lost them, Ideally need some help because we are already very short and we are even shorter. But the team is still dealing with that. But we have to do what is good for the club. '
