Aston Villa are looking to sign Orsomarso SC’s Yeimar Mosquera this summer, according to multiple claims from Colombia.
The centre-back has made 20 appearances in all competitions for the second division Colombian side this year.
Aston Villa could bring him to Europe in this window, according to Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra.
He took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to claim the 20-year-old is a ‘few details away’ from becoming a new Aston Villa player. The Villans are set to sign him on a permanent transfer.
The Premier League side could let the Colombia U20 international go out on loan to Real Unión, a club owned by the family of Aston Villa manager Unai Emery.
Journalist Gustavo López backs up Sierra’s claim and this is relayed by Caracol Radio, who then provide their own take on the possibility of Mosquera joining Aston Villa.
The defender’s displays for Orsomarso have caught the attention of several European clubs but only Aston Villa are mentioned. They intend to sign the South American and send him out on loan to the third division Spanish club.
It’s claimed Unai Emery’s connection with Real Unión could allow Mosquera to continue his development in Europe.
A loan move to Real Unión would enable Aston Villa to take a closer look at him and give the youngster sufficient time before making a leap to the Premier League. In short, the Emery connection could be key for Mosquera to join Aston Villa.
