Aston Villa, Crystal Palace eyeing Newcastle winger Rolando Aarons

Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons is attracting transfer interest ahead of the January market.

The Mirror says a lack of game time for Aarons this season has alerted Crystal Palace, Huddersfield and Championship side Aston Villa.

The trio are hoping they might be able to a cut-price deal for the young winger who has struggled at Newcastle since joining from Bristol City in 2012.

Initially signing for the academy, the 22-year-old made his first team debut in 2014 and has shown signs of exciting class when he has been fit and playing.

After missing all of last season through injury, Aarons returned in the summer and once again looked bright in pre-season. However, he's made just three first-team appearances since the start of the season, with his only start being in the EFL Cup.
