It looks like Aston Villa are going to push ahead with a potential move for Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.
After they had a bid for Brighton’s Yves Bissouma turned down, Bentancur now appears to be the priority as Villa target a holding midfielder.
The Telegraph report that Luis Suarez has highly recommended the Uruguay midfielder to Steven Gerrard, and he is now the first-choice as Villa look to continue talks this week.

Bayern Munich have been linked with a move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in recent days.
The Dutchman joined Barcelona in a big-money move in 2019, but has not been able to hit the heights expected of him at the Nou Camp.
Bayern president Herbert Hainer has downplayed the rumours though and suggested that the German club are not looking to do any January business.
“We have a very, very strong team - and I don’t see any reason why we should still do something in winter”, Hainer told Sky Germany.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has told Kylian Mbappe to quit PSG and move to Real Madrid.
The PSG legend wants to see the striker test himself elsewhere amid frequent links about a move to Spain.
‘Me, I would have gone. But if I am PSG, I would try to keep him. It’s him who will decide. PSG want to keep him, obviously, but does he want to stay?
‘I had the chance to play in different teams, different countries, with different champions, and that’s how I learned and grew.”

Declan Rice on Old Trafford
12:00 , Jonathan Gorrie
Speaking after West Ham’s loss at Manchester United on Saturday, Declan Rice spoke in glowing terms of playing at Old Trafford.
Given the links between the England international and United, that will likely worry West Ham fans...
“I was loving it. Every time I come to Old Trafford, I’ve always said it’s one of my favourite places to play.
“It’s an amazing stadium.”
Newcastle hopeful on Tarkowski
11:51 , Jonathan Gorrie
Newcastle United are hopeful of signing Burnley defender James Tarkowski, according to The Sun.
While it’s tough to imagine the Clarets being willing to further strengthen a relegation rival having already lost Chris Wood to the Toon Army, a big bid could reportedly be enough to tempt their hand.
Pep Guardiola in line for another offer
11:13 , Jonathan Gorrie
The idea of anybody having the resources capable of pulling Pep Guardiola away from Manchester City is outlandish of course but, according to The Sun, the Spaniard could be in line for a new offer.
The Dutch FA are believed to be ready to pounce when Guardiola does leave the Etihad and offer him the chance of managing the Netherlands.
Obviously, given his history with Johan Cruyff, it is a romantic notion.
Ralf Rangnick on Marcus Rashford
10:50 , Jonathan Gorrie
Speaking after Manchester United’s dramatic win over West Ham, Ralf Rangnick hailed the England international.
“Marcus is one of the top strikers in England and has everything you need for a modern forward -- pace, skills, size and physicality,” said Rangnick.
“In the end it is all about confidence and I am pretty sure those two goals will have raised his confidence. It’s now about him taking the right steps and continuing. I think he will play an important role for the rest of the season.”
The 24-year-old Rashford finished off a slick team move with the last play of the game, tapping home from Edinson Cavani’s low cross. The 1-0 win lifted United into fourth with 38 points from 22 games.”

Everton, however, could demand as much as £60m.
