Joshua Zirkzee could be surprise deadline day signing at Aston Villa

Joshua Zirkzee could be a surprise late arrival at Aston Villa.

It has been a crazy summer transfer window at Villa Park, with nearly a complete starting XI transformation.

Big names like Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, Youri Tielemans, Ezri Konsa and Emi Martinez have all left.

NSWE have spent big to replace them too, with the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Johan Manzambi and Ibrahim Mbaye all set to have arrived.

And, they aren't done there for Unai Emery before the 11pm deadline.

Is Joshua Zirkzee available?

Looking at Old Trafford, it appears so.

Zirkzee played regularly during pre-season, but hasn't gotten a sniff in the Premier League under Michael Carrick again.

The I Paper have now reported that Villa are closely monitoring the striker ahead of the deadline tonight.

It's said that a move to Juventus was very likely earlier in the week after he rejected Fiorentina for them.

Instead, Juve have moved for Newcastle's Nick Woltemade, leaving everything up in the air for Zirkzee now.

Man United don't want to let him leave this late, but if some sort of fee can be secured, whether on loan with an option or permanent, they could be open.

Who else will sign for Aston Villa today?

It's going to be a very busy day at Bodymoor Heath.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis will join from Southampton for £30m, plugging the hole left by Konsa in defence.

On top of that, Mbaye will also cost £50m as he prepares to be unveiled after leaving Paris Saint-Germain behind.

Zirkzee could join them, but it's uncertain if Villa need another striker once Brian Madjo recovers from injury.
