Chelsea to accept less than 40m for attacker?

Nottingham Forest and West Ham have both open discussions with Monaco defensive midfielder Soungoutou Magassa and are confident that a fee can be agreed before the close of the transfer window for the impressive 21-year-old. Making his debut in 2022 for current club Monaco, Magassa has been a bright spark in an otherwise mixed few years for the Ligue 1 side, and the club are reportedly reluctant to sell one of their best assets.

Aston Villa have been in contact with Porto as the Villans commence their pursuit of Spanish international striker Samuel Aghehowa. The 6 foot 4 forward scored 19 goals in 30 appearances last season in the Portuguese top flight and is considered one of the brightest attacking prospects from Spain in recent years.
