It’s been an incredibly slow January transfer window so far with clubs across Europe unable or unwilling to fork out big transfer fees. The winter window is notoriously quieter than the summer with clubs holding off until the end of the season to complete major moves when they can budget accordingly based on league position and revenue. Vitor Roque’s €40m move from Atletico Paranaense to Barcelona remains the highest transfer fee paid this month with loan moves proving popular like Jadon Sancho’s return to Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United. 

The Premier League season is almost over and it’s time to hand out individual awards to players who’ve enjoyed outstanding campaigns. Manchester City look destined to win their four consecutive title but which players have stood out over the course of the season?

As most football clubs are well aware, with great success often comes even greater interest in your star players and it seems as though Aston Villa are about to find that out the hard way this summer. The English club were extremely impressive in the Premier League this season, as Unai Emery guided the club to a fourth-place finish and qualification or the Champions League. However, according to reports in England, the Villa Park side may be gearing up for a next season without one of their star players.
