Aston Villa in 'talks' over Feyenoord ace, Bournemouth 'submit offer' for Dominic Solanke replacement

The final weeks of the 2024 summer transfer window are upon us. It has been a relatively quiet window, especially when compared to what he have become accustomed to in recent years - but there is still plenty of time for teams to get deals over the line.

Aston Villa are interested in a Dutch defender who currently plays for Feyenoord, but they will need to sell a player before they make a move. Meanwhile, Bournemouth are looking to snap up a Dominic Solanke replacement before the 2024/25 Premier League season begins on Friday - and they aren’t the only club in the race.

Aston Villa have held ‘talks’ with Dutch giants Feyenoord regarding a possible transfer for Lutsharel Geertruida - however, they will prioritise the sale of Diego Carlos first, according to Sky Sports.

Fulham are looking to sign the Brazilian - should they complete the deal, this would open the door for Villa to bring Geertruida on board. With this in mind, Villa cannot afford to take their time, as PSG have also been linked with a move for the 24-year-old.
