Aston Villa have until the end of the January transfer window to conclude any finals bits of incoming or outgoing business.
The Midlands outfit have the chance to let some players leave on loan over the next couple of weeks. Here are five players who could head out the exit door temporarily...
Tim Iroegbunam
The midfielder, 20, spent last term on loan at QPR in the Championship and impressed with the Hoops. He made 32 appearances in all competitions for the London club and chipped in with two goals.
Josh Feeney
He penned a new contract last year and would benefit from getting some regular first-team football under his belt. The centre-back moved to Villa Park back in 2021 from Fleetwood Town.
Kaine Kesler-Hayden
The right-back has recently returned to Aston Villa from his loan spell at Plymouth Argyle in the second tier. Unai Emery now has a big decision on what to do with him for the remainder of this campaign.
Rico Richards
He joined last summer following his exit from rivals West Brom. The 20-year-old, who is an Englang youth international, played four times for the Baggies' senior team before leaving the Hawthorns.
Chisom Afoka
The attacker spent the first-half of this term with Bradford City. He managed to play only times for the Bantams though and had his spell in Yorkshire cut short.
