Aston Villa's summer transfer window is heating up, with the club linked to several top targets.

What's the latest on Aston Villa's transfer plans?

The Villans are under pressure to sell before they can buy amid PSR and FFP constraints. Morgan Rogers' potential marquee sale could help Unai Emery reinvest in the squad. Rogers has emerged as one of Villa's standout performers over the past two seasons.

Who are Aston Villa's top transfer targets?

Aston Villa have been credited with a serious interest in Flamengo full-back Emerson Royal. Fabrizio Romano confirms that Villa are in talks over a move for the former Tottenham defender. The club have also been linked to Croatia international Martin Baturina. Goalkeeper James Trafford has been mentioned as a potential option amid uncertainty surrounding Emiliano Martínez's future.

What's the situation with Matias Soule?

Roma have just five days to sell Matias Soule, who is keen on a move to Aston Villa. The Argentine attacker has regularly been linked with Villa during the summer transfer window. Roma need to generate around £52 million before June 30, and Soule is one of the players who could be sacrificed. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the winger is keen on a move to Aston Villa should he leave Roma this summer.
