Aston Villa have already done the bulk of their business with the arrivals of Tammy Abraham and Douglas Luiz.
The loan return of Juventus midfielder Luiz, who was sold to the Serie A side 18 months ago, was enforced after the season-ending injury to Boubacar Kamara.
Abraham was a labour of love for Villa, having tried to sign him several times, and he bolsters an attack after the departures of Donyell Malen and Evann Guessand.
Harvey Elliott's situation remains unchanged, despite the Liverpool loanee coming in from the cold against Red Bull Salzburg for his first appearance since 2 October.
