Herman22 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 And again not much talk of this in the media. It would appear they have ZERO info on our transfer plans. We are really filling the academy at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Was reported we were leading the race a couple of weeks ago but great that we seem to be building a very exciting youth set up. Quote Report: Aston Villa primed to land Exeter City wonderkid Ben Chrisene Published on August 5, 2020 Aston Villa are reportedly set to win the race for Exeter City youngster Ben Chrisene. According to Devon Live, the Premier League side have stolen a march on the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, who were both strongly linked with the midfielder The Reds are said to have previously invited him to Anfield to watch a Champions League game as a VIP, while it’s claimed Frank Lampard actually contacted the youngster personally. Chrisene made his debut for the League Two side in August 2019, becoming the club’s youngest ever player at 15 years seven months and one day, beating Ethan Ampadu’s record. https://tbrfootball.com/report-aston-villa-primed-to-land-exeter-city-wonderkid-ben-chrisene/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DevonVilla Posted August 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2020 City felt very harshly treated by Chelsea when they signed Ethan Ampadu so at least Villa appear to have gone about things the right way from Exeter's point of view. Good to see. 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they make it in the top flight is a different story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
