On deadline day, Aston Villa signed Clement Lenglet from Barcelona on a loan, although it seems like work needs to be done.
Al-Duhail, a Qatari team, is still interested in Philippe Coutinho, and it’s conceivable that the Brazilian will end up joining the reigning champions of Qatar.
But Gianluca Di Marzio believes there may be another unexpected transaction in the works.
The dependable reporter has reported that Keinan Davis, who was said to be joining a Championship team, is scheduled to have a physical with Udinese, a Serie A team.
The Pozzo family, who owns the club, is thought to be the reason for the connection to Udinese. Davis spent the previous season on loan at the Hornets, and they also control Watford.
Both the player and Villa themselves obviously anticipated a departure, and Unai Emery may have been able to check into the market in the past few hours by saving on another salary.
Only until the window closes at 11 p.m. UK time will it be clear if the Spaniard has enough time to push any deals across the line that he wants.
At this point, it’s unclear whether Davis’s contract is a long-term or short-term one.
