Wolves want forward ‘off their wage bill’ as Aston Villa quoted amount ‘enough’ to sign Arsenal target.
A roundup of the latest Aston Villa and Wolves transfer headlines.
The Premier League has taken a break while focus shifts to international football but that hasn’t stopped transfer news from doing the rounds as we approach the January window. With just weeks left before we say goodbye to 2024, top flight clubs have been linked with exciting potential targets.
Let’s take a look at some of the latest Aston Villa and Wolves links during the international break.
£29m ‘enough’ for Villa to sign Arsenal target
Aston Villa have been linked with a move for Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor since the start of the season after ‘scouting and monitoring’ his current situation. According to CaughtOffside, Unai Emery’s side are among those showing interest in the 22-year-old, who has also caught the eye of Arsenal, Newcastle United and Napoli.

Taylor has not missed a single match for Ajax so far this season and has contributed six goals and four assists in all competitions. Last season was a similar story, the midfielder featured in every single match for the Dutch giants and showcased his versatility, playing in attacking, central and defensive midfield roles, as well as some stints out wide on the left.
Wolves want forward ‘off their wage bill’
Despite Fábio Silva’s resurgence with Las Palmas, Wolves are looking to offload the forward permanently in 2025. According to Molineux News, the Old Gold ‘want him off the wage bill’ regardless of whether his form continues in Spain or not.
Wolves initially signed Silva in 2020 for £35 million when he was just 18 years of age. Many tipped the forward to become the next huge Portuguese talent and he arrived in the Premier League with a lot of buzz surrounding him. However, he has failed to live up to these big expectations and was shipped out for his fourth loan away from Molineux in August.
Silva signed for Las Palmas on a one-year deal, after previously spending time at Rangers, PSV Eindhoven and Anderlecht. The 22-year-old is under contract with Wolves until 2026 but the report claims that the club is looking to offload him sooner rather than later, even if he returns from Las Palmas with a superb season under his belt. So far, Silva has made nine La Liga appearances and has scored three goals in that time.
