Sources: Multiple clubs racing to sign three Aston Villa rising stars – waiting for green light
On-loan Aston Villa trio Aaron Ramsey, Cameron Archer and Jaden Philogene are the subject of interest from many English clubs ahead of the summer window, sources have told Football Insider.
It is believed that the starlets will find it tough to break into Unai Emery’s first-team squad for the 2023-24 campaign.
A well-placed source told Football Insider that Aston Villa will be busy in the summer market after their success this season.
The club’s owners are ready to back Emery with big money – with Football Insider revealing earlier this month (8 April) that the Midlands giants are planning to smash their transfer record again this summer with another “huge” spending spree.
Villa will make a decision on the futures of their most promising youngsters in the off-season with interested clubs standing by and ready to pounce.
Football Insider revealed on Saturday (15 April) that Leicester are hoping to take advantage of Dean Smith’s Villa links in order to land their top starlets if they drop to the Championship.
Ramsey, 20, has spent the 2022-23 campaign on loan in the Championship, notching eight goals and four assists across 31 appearances in spells with Norwich and Middlesbrough.
Archer, 21, went out on loan to Middlesbrough in January after a lack of game time at Villa Park – and has registered eight goals and six assists in 17 games for the promotion challengers.
The England Under-21 international is under contract at Villa until June 2027 after signing a long-term extension last summer (2022).
Philogene, 21, is on loan at relegation-threatened Cardiff and has scored five goals in 35 appearances in the 2022-23 campaign.
Football Insider revealed last month (24 March) that RC Lens, Anderlecht and Union Berlin are among the clubs keeping tabs on the winger.
Aston Villa lost highly-rated midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka to Chelsea last summer for a reported fee of around £20million.
Emery’s side are challenging for a European place this season after winning six of their last seven games.
