– Aston Villa have made contact with Chelsea for striker Christopher Nkunku, Fabrizio Romano reports. The 27-year-old Nkunku has attracted the attention of Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig as well, but Villa have been informed of the conditions for the move as the Sept. 1 deadline approaches. Villa are also interested in Nicolas Jackson and Marco Asensio, but many clubs are keen on signing Jackson.
– Positive talks have taken place between Napoli and the representatives of Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund, according to Fabrizio Romano. Earlier this week, it was reported that Napoli were prioritizing a move for the Denmark international, and progress now appears to have been made. The Serie A champions are “advancing in talks” with Højlund, with Man United “ready to get a deal done” if personal terms are finalized. United brought in RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko last week, meaning 22-year-old Højlund is now surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.
