Confirmed:Aston villa to sign 18-year-old- french striker from Stade Rennais fc
Unai Emery determined to sign young striker who has scored against England
To strengthen his forward line, Unai Emery has now designated a “priority” acquisition for Aston Villa to make
this summer.
Even though Ollie Watkins is one of the league’s finest strikers, Jhon Duran is a very good backup for the
England international, and Aston Villa’s striker department is now fairly healthy.
The only possible problem is the ongoing rumors about Duran’s future—he’s been connected to a move to
Chelsea on a regular basis.

With Enzo Maresca‘s employment in west London, Villa may hope that any interest now wanes and the team
modifies their transfer intentions.
In any case, Villa does have room for a third striker despite only having two recognized senior strikers on its
roster.
Emery would be foolish to sign a striker who was ready for the first team and who would expect to start twenty
or so games, which is just not realistic.
And for that reason, Emery now views Mathis Lambourde, 18, of Stade Rennais as his “priority” signing for this
summer.
Although Lambourde isn’t exactly a household name in Europe, the young artist is currently creating a lot of
buzz.
Aston Villa has made Mathis Lambourde, a striker from Rennes, their top summer target.
The French publication Footmercato, which claims that Villa has been “seduced” by Lambourde’s quality, is the
source of this fascination.
The young player’s exceptional combination of athleticism, leadership, and winning mindset is reported to have
impressed Emery.
Now that they are back in the Champions League, the story says that Villa believe Lambourde may thrive in
England since they know he still has a lot of promise left in him.
It’s possible that Lambourde has best displayed his abilities when representing France’s youth team, especially
at the 2023 U17 Euros.
During that competition, the striker scored a goal against England, which will have attracted the attention of
scouts from all over.
In just three substitute appearances this season, Lambourde has yet to firmly establish himself on Rennes’
starting lineup, logging just 17 minutes of play.
Nonetheless, given the 18-year-old’s promise, Aston Villa feel certain that the attacker is prepared to advance
and has the ability to flourish as Watkins and Duran’s backup.
