Who: Ron Vlaar
Where: Aston Villa
Who wants him: Manchester United and Arsenal
The Dutchman looks increasingly likely to leave Villa in the near future as he looks to have given up on signing a new deal. However, with Villa resigned to losing him, they have stated that they are under no pressure to let him go in January. Both Arsenal and Manchester United are in need of some defensive reinforcements, but will they want to pay the reported £12m Villa are asking for in January? He has had his injury problems, but is a born leader with a skilful touch.
Where will he go?: He’ll likely stay with Villa until the end of the season where he will run down his contract before joining United on a free.
