Everything Aston Villa supporters need to know about new signing Zépiqueno Redmond

Teenage Dutch striker joins Villa from Feyenoord

It hasn’t been officially confirmed yet but the first signing of the summer transfer window as reported by well established sources is 18-year-old Feyenoord striker Zépiqueno Redmond.

Aston Villa will undoubtedly have a significant turnover of players in and out over the next few months. Football operations chief Monchi has his work cut out if the club is to turn the disappointment of missing out on the Champions League into a positive while complying with profit and sustainability rules.

The acquisition of highly-rated youngster Redmond is an intriguing start. Part of what Villa need to do to progress is to know how to identify Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins before they become Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins.

Redmond is an exciting prospect. He turns 19 next month and looks every bit as raw as you’d expect of a player with barely a handful of senior appearances to his name.
