Aston Villa transfer with Albion message

The Secret Scout says Villa are nearing a deal for another of Albion’s academy products and that the 16-year-old has already ‘said his goodbyes’ at the Baggies.

That is backed up by a message the player has put on his Instagram story in which he says: “I would like to say a big thank you to WBA and everyone at the club who has helped me progress over the years. I am very grateful for the opportunities and experiences the club has given me. Time for the next chapter.”
