Aston Villa transfer news 2025 takes a major turn as the Premier League side enters talks to sign Zepiqueno Redmond from Feyenoord. Following Jhon Duran’s January move to Saudi Arabia, Unai Emery is eyeing an exciting long-term attacking prospect—and Redmond fits the profile perfectly.
Emery’s side sits sixth in the Premier League going into the final weekend, hoping results swing their way to clinch Champions League qualification for 2025/26. Regardless of the outcome, Villa are moving swiftly in the market.
With loanees Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio set to depart after Sunday’s clash with Manchester United, the club is preparing to reinforce its frontline. Redmond has emerged as the standout target.
Competition Heats Up for Redmond’s Signature
According to Fabrizio Romano, Villa are leading the race for Redmond, but face competition from Tottenham, Bournemouth, and AC Milan. The 18-year-old striker has impressed in the KNVB Cup and even made his Champions League debut against AC Milan in February.
Robin van Persie, Feyenoord’s manager since February, wants the youngster to stay.
“We hope that Zeppi extends his contract with us… We hope that he chooses us.” — Robin van Persie

I follow the Dutch league, and finally we have a striker we’ve so desperately needed! After Van Persie, Huntelaar, etc., we really haven’t had any good strikers. And yet, as a country, we used to be known for producing them! If he ends up going to Villa, they’ll truly have gold in their hands!

Aston Villa always seems to be on point when it comes to scouting the right young players, they did it with Duran and with Rodgers. I dont know this guy tbh.
