Manchester City midfielder Rodri is waiting for Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to give the green light for his proposed return to Spain. City have already signed Elliot Anderson and are working on a deal for Lille midfield prodigy Ayyoub Bouaddi‚ mindful that Rodri and his representatives have still to accept terms on the new contract they offered in April. The 30-year-old‚ who has one year left on his City deal‚ is keen on a return to Madrid and there is growing support for the move on the back of him leading Spain to World Cup glory.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT STADE PIERRE-MAUROY: Perhaps Emery was right after all. Not long into the second half of this painfully drab Europa League tie at Lille‚ Watkins' instinctive header gave Villa the only goal. It made Emery's men favourites to advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League‚ with the second leg at Villa Park on March 19. Even more importantly‚ it should restore a little of Villa's fraying self-belief as they prepare to meet Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday‚ as both clubs tussle for a top-five finish in the Premier League and a place in next season's Champions League.
