Aston Villa finalise Manchester City agreement

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Kane Taylor from Manchester City, the club have announced.

The Villans revealed, via their official website on 20 August, that have re-signed the 19-year-old five years after signing a scholarship with the Premier League giants.

Fabrizio Romano has now reported (20 August) that the transfer will cost £750k with the Citizens having a 25 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal.

Aston Villa confirm Kane Taylor signing

Under Monchi, Villa has their ear to the ground and always seems to pick up smart deals which will hopefully benefit them in the future.

With PSR playing such a massive part in the modern-day Premier League, making savvy signings on the cheap will be increasingly important.

This has been shown by the sale of Omari Kellyman to Chelsea earlier in the window which just showed what the club want to do moving forward.

Fans will always be hopeful that young players can come in and have a positive impact on the first team.

A new Jack Grealish or Jacob Rasmey is what every supporter hopes of players coming through the academy.

Taylor could prove to be that player after a positive spell in the academy set up at Manchester City, featuring regularly for their Under-18 and Elite Development squads.

This deal is one that makes perfect sense and is a sign of what is to come under Villa's regime.
