Crystal Palace are reported to be trying to disrupt Aston Villa’s move for Club Brugge defender Joel Ordóñez, prompting Villa to consider West Ham’s Jean-Claire Todibo instead. The rumours underline the late-window uncertainty facing several Premier League clubs, with Villa also expected to lose Ollie Watkins while pursuing Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea may consider Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez after Robert Sánchez’s latest error, while Sunderland have discussed moves for Marseille winger Igor Paixão and Sporting’s Geny Catamo. Elsewhere, Everton are considering Midtjylland striker Franculino Djú, Nottingham Forest could sell Morato to Roma and seek a right wing-back, while James Ward-Prowse is linked with a return to Southampton.
