Aston Villa Eye Cut-Price Deal for Bilal El Khannouss
Aston Villa are plotting a summer swoop for Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss, with the Moroccan playmaker expected to cost a modest £15 million ($19m) following the Foxes' relegation. The 22-year-old, once Genk's standout performer and a creative engine at Leicester last season, made 32 Premier League appearances and remained injury-free – a detail confirmed by sports scientist Dr Rajpal Brar to Astonvillanews , who expects no medical hiccups. Villa see El Khannouss's tactical intelligence and defensive discipline as a natural fit for Unai Emery's system. He would add depth, flair, and composure in midfield without blowing the budget. Several Premier League clubs are circling, but Villa hope to move quickly and exploit Leicester's diminished negotiating power. Tags: Aston VillaBilal El Khannousspremier leagueUnai Emery

Attacker offered to Tottenham expected to pass medical, claims doctor
Injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar believes AC Milan's versatile winger Noah Okafor will have no problem passing his medical for Spurs if the move is to materialise. Spurs have been linked with several players this transfer window and among them is the Swiss attacker, who they have been linked with previously as well. It was reported last week that the North London club have been offered the chance to sign the versatile winger. While the move is not yet in works, sports scientist and physical therapist Dr. Rajpal Brar has suggested that the Swiss international would likely pass his medical, if Spurs proceed with the deal. Brar noted that while Okafor's calf injury appears to be of moderate severity, it is unlikely to pose a significant issue unless long-term risks are identified during the evaluation. Speaking to Tottenham News, he said: 'Okafor recently had a calf injury. 'This sounds like a Grade 2 out of 4 injury. 'Calf injuries can be tricky and nagging so the club will of course do their due diligence but if they are comfortable with his rehab and his testing during the medical, it's not something that would cause him to fail it unless they see significant medium and long-term risks.' It is unlikely that the North London club will be pursuing a move for the AC Milan man despite being given the chance to sign him. This is because they are reportedly very close to completing a deal for Bayern Munich starlet Mathys Tel instead. As per latest reports, Spurs have verbally agreed a deal with the German giants, in a deal worth around 60m euros. In case the move falls apart, Spurs might revisit the idea of signing Okafor who could also prove to be a smart signing.
