Football Whispers: Aston Villa get legal, while Liverpool's Danny Ings suffers another injury set-back and Carlo Ancelotti is set for China move
- Ross McCormack joined Nottingham Forest on loan in February from Aston Villa
- Danny Ings suffered yet another injury sustained for Liverpool under 23
- Burnley put Shay Given on top of their Tom Heaten emergency replacement list
- Carlo Ancelotti has potentially signed a contract with a Chinese club
Ten days on from the transfer deadline day and many clubs still have their scouts on the lookout for the next big bargain.
It's not just players clubs are worried about though, many deals have caused significant heat and tension between the parties in the aftermath of what became the spending spree to end all spending sprees.
Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City were at the forefront of these complaints, both of whom spending ludicrous amounts - including PSG's double world-record signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. But nonetheless, it seems the transfer market is always open for business.
Villa set for court battle
Aston Villa are taking legal action against Nottingham Forest to recoup money owed from the loan of striker Ross McCormack. The Scotland international joined Forest in February but made just seven appearances, scoring once. His last game was in March before he required surgery to remove cysts from his mouth.
