Both Unai Emery and Eddie Howe have started their 2024/25 campaigns positively, with Villa third in the table and Newcastle sixth, both chasing success.
Aston Villa are taking on heavy European commitments, potentially challenging their squad depth this season, as they gear up for matches against top-tier teams in Europe.
Villarreal's Alex Baena, wanted by both Villa and Newcastle, boasts 70 goal contributions in 189 appearances and is seen as a key target for January.
Despite Baena's contract running until 2028 and a potential 55m price tag, both clubs are eager to secure a transfer as early as January.
