Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens could unlock the next generation of Aston Villa stars moving into the new campaign.

The B6 owners are rightly lauded for all the work they have done since taking over in 2018.

After coming into a side that had just lost the play-off final to Fulham, they helped to turn things around.

From Championship to Champions League, they have helped elevate the Villans further than anyone could have truly imagined.

That has continued away from Villa Park as they continue to utilise a multi-club network as part of their V Sports group.

It appears that could be set to benefit young players at Bodymoor Heath as a triple deal looks set to go through this summer.

NSWE have had ties with the Ligue 2 outfit since the start of June after holding a partnership previously.

That link started with the loan switch of Triston Rowe to southeastern France last season.

The defender certainly made a positive impression for Annecy as he made 31 appearances in all competitions.

Villa look set to replicate that winning formula in the current window as they take advantage of that V Sports link.

The Athletic reported on Tuesday that Mohamed Kone, Kadan Young and Zepiqueno Redmond are expected to join Annecy this summer.

Loan agreements are now anticipated with the midfielder, winger and striker set to pick up some much-needed minutes away from B6.

How does Unai Emery rate this trio of youngsters?

There are plenty of talented youngsters coming through at Bodymoor Heath right now.

Plenty of names have moved out on loan over the years and have struggled to make their chance count.

Annecy appears to be an ideal location considering just how well Rowe did throughout his time in Ligue 1.

That points towards Unai Emery and Co. rating Young, Redmond and Kone very highly.

The latter is particularly liked at Villa Park after his move from Ivorian outfit ASEC Mimosas in 2025.

If he can take his chance with Annecy, there's every chance he could be prepared for first-team football in claret and blue.

The development of all three will certainly be something to keep an eye on and if things go well, Villa will only have NSWE to thank for their work off the pitch.
