England striker Tammy Abraham has completed an 18m return to Aston Villa from Besiktas. The 28-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half year deal at the Premier League title challengers, as he moves back to England for the first time since joining Roma in 2021. Abraham was on loan at Besiktas from Roma, but the Turkish club activated their buy option on Monday for 11m, so Villa will pay the money to them.
Aston Villa attacker Leon Bailey is on loan at Italian club Roma. However, the Jamaican has not managed to perform at a high level. He has had injury problems as well. Bailey has played just 188 minutes in all competitions and Roma could look to part ways with him in January. They are interested in signing Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United and they are hoping to free up funds to sign the player, as per Corriere dello Sport.
According to a report via SportWitness, the player is keen on leaving the club in January, and Roma would be prepared to provide him with an exit route. Tottenham signed the player permanently for a fee of around 35 million at the start of the season, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to send him out on loan.

Pellegrini, who was previously linked with a summer move to West Ham, has barely featured for Roma this season, with new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini not counting on his captain. And because of this, it has been decided that he will be allowed to leave in January, as reported by TEAMtalk (via Leeds United News). Pellegrini was not included in the Italy squad for their 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September,
