Aston Villa transfer round up: Carney Chukwuemeka makes demands, striker eyed by rival

Aston Villa kicked-off their pre-season camp in Australia with a 1-0 win over Leeds United in the early hours of Sunday morning. Danny Ings provided the winner from the penalty spot in a game which was also Boubacar Kamara's first outing in a Villa shirt.

Steven Gerrard’s men will continue their preparations for the new season when they face Brisbane Roar in Townsville.

Villa have been active in the transfer window after Kamara signed as a free transfer from Marseille just after the end of last season and has since been joined by Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos, while Philippe Coutinho and Robin Olsen have made their loan moves permanent. Sevilla left-back Ludwig Augustinsson has also agreed a season-loan.

Gerrard is now keen to further add to his squad after selling Matt Targett to Newcastle for £15million after his successful loan and there could be further out-goings among fringe players after Trezeguet's departure.

Here takes a look at the latest Villa transfer news and rumours.

Keinan Davis was a big hit on loan at Nottingham Forest last season in the Championship where he helped them up via the play-offs and into the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The striker has since reported back to Villa for pre-season at Gerrard's request but Mirror Football understands Forest still want to buy another striker despite signing former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin in a club-record move.

The Reds are keeping the door open for Davis to return on loan or potentially permanently if they can afford it.

Davis, 24, scored five goals in 15 League games for Forest last term as he flourished playing regular football under Steve Cooper.
