Aston Villa Lead the Race for Feyenoord’s Zepiqueno Redmond

Aston Villa are close to signing Feyenoord’s young striker, Zepiqueno Redmond. The club is working hard to finalize the deal. Many UK and Italian teams are interested in Redmond, but Villa are now the favorites.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Aston Villa are in advanced talks to sign 18-year-old Zepiqueno Redmond from Feyenoord. The club believes he has great potential and wants to complete the deal soon. Other clubs, including some from the Premier League and Italy, also want Redmond. But it looks like Villa are leading the race, and the player will decide soon.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Redmond plays only sometimes for Feyenoord’s first team and has made seven appearances without scoring this season. Even with little top-flight experience, his talent has attracted attention across Europe. Aston Villa, meanwhile, are building an ambitious squad. They finished fourth in the 2024/25 Premier League season and secured a spot in the Champions League next year. With strikers like Ollie Watkins performing well, Villa wants to invest in young talent for future campaigns.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Aston Villa’s immediate focus is on guaranteeing Champions League qualification for next season, with one game left in the Premier League. They will play at Old Trafford, after United plays the Europa League final tonight. After that, the 2025/26 Premier League season begins. The club aims to close the gap to Manchester City and fend off rivals Tottenham, who finished just below them last season. For Redmond, a move to Villa could be a chance to grow under great coaching and fight for a spot in a strong team.
