Aston Villa’s latest transfer news as Unai Emery’s side involves interest in the winger, who has impressed in the Championship so far this season.

Scoring the equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Coventry City before the international break, Rowe further cemented his reputation on international duty. In his first call-up to the England Under-21 team, he came off the bench to score in a 9-1 win over Serbia on Thursday.
After his goal against Coventry, Wagner sent Rowe a warning about his current form. He also praised the striker for an element of his game that can sometimes go unnoticed.
“I hope he comes back healthy. “He has done very well so far and deserves all the praise, but he knows he has to start working even harder if he wants to improve and continue this form,” he said later match against Coventry, Pink Un.
“He’s a very smart guy. He will do what is necessary. He was obviously in a good mood.
“People can talk about (Coventry’s) goal, I’ll talk about the defense in the second half because it showed how determined he was to do the hard work for the defense. He’s a team player, he works hard. Obviously he’s scoring goals, which is amazing.
Rowe will continue to attract attention when he returns to the championship next weekend. If his fitness allows, he is expected to feature in Norwich’s Championship match against Leeds United on Saturday 21 October (kick-off 3pm).
