Aston Villa retain a strong interest in Norwich City winger Jon Rowe as they step up their pursuit of a winger in the final days of the January transfer window. 

That's according to reports from various national outlets, including the Telegraph and the Daily Mail, who claim that Rowe is being monitored by Villa in the final days of the January transfer window. 

Unai Emery's side are also interested in young Middlesbrough winger Morgan Rogers and are said to have seen two bids rejected for the 21-year-old, who the Teessiders value at £10m. 

Rowe is seen as a potential alternative should progress on the Rogers deal stall, with three Villa scouts sent to Elland Road to watch his performance in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Leeds United in the Championship. 

Norwich would demand a sizeable fee to even consider letting their top goalscorer leave this month, with several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Brentford, keeping tabs on the England U21 international. 

Crystal Palace have also been mentioned as another interested party, with the bulk of the Premier League having now run the rule over City's young winger. 

Norwich are confident that they can fight off any interest in their star man this month, with Rowe integral to their push for the Championship's top six. 

All parties have agreed to park the situation until the summer, as David Wagner communicated earlier this month, but that has little to prevent the speculation from continuing around Rowe's future.

Rowe is contracted at Carrow Road until 2025, with the club possessing an option to extend it by 12 months.

Speaking after Norwich's 2-0 victory on Saturday, with Rowe scoring the second goal, Wagner was confident that Rowe would remain at Carrow Road beyond the end of the transfer window. 

“I'm long enough in this business that I know everything what I say now does not help. This is why I keep myself calm on this as well,” said Wagner. “I have no other signs, no other information as well. So I have no concerns.

"I'm quite confident that we will work with him together and hopefully he can consistently perform and produce performances like this. Because he's still young, still a lot of work to do. But he's a good guy."
