It seems Aston Villa is continuing its trend of acquiring promising young talents, this time from their local rivals, West Bromwich Albion. Keilan Quinn, a 16-year-old academy product from West Brom, appears to be on the verge of signing for Aston Villa. The move is reported to be nearing completion, with Quinn having already bid farewell to West Brom, as indicated by a message on his Instagram story expressing gratitude to the club for his development.

Quinn’s potential move to Aston Villa’s academy, overseen by Mark Harrison, signals the start of a new chapter in his career. The deal, reportedly valued at £1 million, would see Quinn join Villa’s youth setup at Bodymoor Heath as a scholar.

This transfer follows a pattern of young talents making the switch from West Brom to Aston Villa, with several players having previously made similar moves. Notable among them are Morgan Rogers and Lino Sousa, who also progressed through the Albion academy before joining Villa. Other players, such as Jamal Jimoh, Tim Iroegbunam, and Louie Barry, have either directly moved from West Brom to Villa or have ties to both clubs.

This acquisition highlights Villa’s commitment to nurturing young talent and building for the future, while also showcasing their ability to attract promising prospects from rival clubs.
