Aston Villa have signed former Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof on a two-year contract and are closing in on loan deals for Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho.
Sweden captain Lindelof, 31, was a free agent, with his United contract having expired at the end of last season.
United winger Sancho, 25, turned down a move to Roma earlier in the window, while there has also been interest from fellow Italian side Juventus.
Liverpool’s 22-year-old midfielder Elliott, meanwhile, is nearing a move which includes an obligation to buy for £35m.
Both Sancho and Elliott are now at Villa to complete medicals and the formalities of their loan moves.

United sources say Aston Villa will pay 80% of Sancho’s wages, while there are easily achievable bonuses that should bring the total up to 100%.
Sancho has spent the past 18 months on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, but neither club made the deal permanent.
Chelsea paid a £5m penalty to United for reneging on an obligation to sign the England attacker.
Elliott has played just once for Liverpool this season, making a one-minute appearance from the bench in their Premier League game against Newcastle.
