Viktor? I don't believe it!

Paul Lambert certainly didn't rule out further signings at his pre-season press conference and he has demonstrated that he's quite partial to talented young Danish men, so could the Viktor Fischer rumour carry some actual substance?

The talented 19 year old broke into the Ajax first team last season and was used primarily as an out and out left winger. The breakthrough quickly saw him promoted to the Danish national team where he has made a handful of appearances.

The rumour starts to look shaky when you appreciate that Ajax wisely signed Viktor up to a new four year deal earlier this year, and this, coupled with the fact that first team opportunities look better for him in the Eredivisie than they do in the Premier League, would make a deal seem far less likely.

However, Nicklas Helenius sparked a whodunnit recently when deleting a tweet that hinted at another Villa Danish capture, so who knows?

Plenty of other rumours have been circulating but our latest intelligence says that a deal for Wissam Ben Yedder is out of the question as he only put pen to paper on a new Toulouse deal last week, while a Villa move for Fischer's Ajax team mate Toby Alderweireld is thought to be unlikely.
