Football transfer rumours: Manchester City and Spurs chase Cody Gakpo?

Today’s rumours are so severely underwhelmed

After Aston Villa endured a day to forget on the Premier League’s opening weekend, it only stands to reason that they must sign players, and ideally good ones. Milan wide man Rafael Leão has flirted with a move to England in the past and he could be the answer to Unai Emery’s attacking troubles, if that answer is not named Nicolas Jackson or Jean-Philippe Mateta.

And Villa are not just concentrating their efforts on reshaping their forward line. Rangers’ Nicolas Raskin could fit the bill in midfield, where they looked light in the shellacking by Brighton, while Club Brugge centre-back Joel Ordóñez looks to be coming in after Southampton pushed back on Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
