Aston Villa are weighing up a move for Matheus Cunha with Jhon Durán expected to finalise his transfer to Al-Nassr on Thursday, though they also want to sign a striker to support the Arsenal target Ollie Watkins.

Wolves, who host Villa on Saturday, are adamant they will not countenance selling Cunha given the forward is a key player in their fight to avoid relegation and are hopeful the Brazilian will sign a new contract. Villa are also exploring alternatives, including a more like-for-like Durán replacement, but have no desire to sell Watkins, the subject of a bid worth about £60m from Arsenal.
