Hello and welcome to Tuesday's LIVE coverage of Aston Villa from BirminghamLive. We will be keeping you up to date with all the action from Villa Park as Villa boss Dean Smith and sporting director Johan Lange continue their work in the summer transfer market. Emiliano Buendia has already signed in a club-record deal from Norwich City and Ashley Young's return from Inter Milan on a free transfer has underlined Villa's intentions. There will, of course, be constant rumblings about Jack Grealish's future as the Villa captain makes waves at Euro 2020, with Manchester City thought to be preparing a £100million bid. A second bid for Emile Smith Rowe, the Arsenal starlet, was rejected while Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse is a target too.
