Aston Villa are yet to complete a transfer this summer, but that could soon change.

Unai Emery will surely be in the market for some new additions as they look to expand on their success last season.

The Villans won the Europa League and will be hoping to give a good account of themselves in the Champions League.

Morgan Rogers' future will be their biggest concern, but they are expected to resist any attempts to sign him.

As for incomings, there has not been any significant movements yet in the window from the B6 side.

Villa News rounds up the latest transfer updates on 4 July as the market starts to take shape.

Morgan Rogers speaks out over £130m valuation

Rogers has now spoken out over his future while away on World Cup duty with England.

Reports had suggested that the Villans have slapped a £130million price tag on his head.

He revealed that while it is a good sign, he is not focused on exit speculation.

Speaking to the media, he said: "I'm not sure that I'm worth all of that!

”Of course it's nice to hear that, but I don't let outside noise dictate me. I'm just going to keep focused and keep being the person that got me here and trying to improve. I don't really listen to stuff like that."

Richards Keys: This is exactly why Morgan Rogers should snub Arsenal transfer for Aston Villa

Arsenal eye Ezri Konsa move alongside Rogers

Arsenal, the Premier League champions, are one of the clubs chasing Rogers.

Now, they have also been touted as a destination for Ezri Konsa, who is currently part of England's World Cup camp.

A report from The Telegraph claims that the Gunners have shown "tentative interest" in the 28-year-old.

It states that Villa value him around the £60m mark, and Mikel Arteta's side would not be willing to pay that.

Robin Risser could be Emi Martinez replacement

Emi Martinez could leave the Villans this summer, with Robin Risser as his replacement.

A report from L'Equipe claims that Emery's side are expected to make a move to sign the 21-year-old.

It states that the third-choice goalkeeper for France at the World Cup is their top target and they could send the offer in the near future.

Lens are understood to want to stand firm over a departure.

Three stars could leave Villa Park

Evan Guessand, Lamare Bogarde and Leon Bailey could all leave this summer.

A report from the BBC claims that Guessand and Bailey will be allowed to depart if the opportunity presents itself.

It also states that Bogarde has interest and there is a chance an exit could be sanctioned.

It would leave the Villans squad even smaller, but could help generate vital funds to help with their UEFA sanctions.
