Aston Villa linked with January moves for two new names- reports

Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce is desperate to strengthen his squad this month, and that has been evident with the plethora of names linked with the Championship club.

Two more names have been added to the list of the players Villa seemed to be interested in signing this month.

According to The Sun, Villa are preparing a £3 million move for Watford midfielder Adlene Guedioura.

The 31-year-old, who is representing Algeria national team at AFCON currently, has managed only nine league starts this season and has fallen further behind in the pecking order following the arrival of Tom Cleverley at the club.

In another Villa-related update, German publication Bild claims that the Midlands club are close to reaching an agreement with Wolfsburg for young winger Anton Donkor.

The Germany U20 international is yet to make a senior appearance for Wolfsburg and has a contract until 2020. However, the report claims that Villa should get their man as he has been told that his prospects at his current club are slim.
