Aston Villa is set to make significant changes to their squad, with a focus on upgrading their left-back position, preferably with an attack-minded player who can operate as a winger. The club is targeting Ian Maatsen, which may result in Lucas Digne or Alex Moreno making way for the new addition. All parties involved are keen to finalize the deal for Maatsen this week. Meanwhile, Everton has agreed to sign Aston Villa's Tim Iroegbunam for a fee of around £9 million, with a medical scheduled soon.
