Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen has reportedly agreed personal terms with Aston Villa on a January transfer to the English Premier League club. Dutch magazine Voetbal International and Germany's Bild paper reported the agreement on a multi-year contract on Monday but also said that the clubs must still agree on a transfer fee.

The Aston Villa boss thinks that he needs to add more options in the winter transfer window to help his team push up the league. Borussia Dortmund’s winger Malen is one of the players Villa are keen on, but their offer of €18m is not enough for Dortmund.

The report from Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter) states that Villa have opened talks with Celta Vigo to explore a potential move for Mingueza. Nothing is advanced as yet, but the former Barcelona man is one of the Villans' 'main targets' for the January transfer window, and he's been appreciated by the board and Emery.
