Aston Villa are set to complete their first signing of the summer transfer window with teenage goalkeeper Oliwier Zych on his way to England from Zagłębie Lubin, according to Sportowy.
If there is one position where Dean Smith’s Premier League strugglers are not short of quality, it is between the sticks.
While Pepe Reina is set to return to AC Milan when his loan spell expires, Villa still have Tom Heaton, Jed Steer, Orjan Nyland and, if a new contract can be agreed, Matija Sarkic on the books.
Then there is Finnish starlet Viljami Sinisalo, an 18-year-old who is one of the finest young shot-stoppers anywhere in Europe according to goalkeeping coach Neil Cutler (Birmingham Mail).
Zych, then, could be in good company if Villa Park is to be his destination.
Reports from Poland claim that the Midland giants are expected to complete his signing.
And, given that Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich have also looked at the coveted starlet, Aston Villa should be excited by the news – even if they will probably have to wait quite a while to see Zych in action.
The highly-rated Pole is not the only fresh-faced youngster seemingly on his way to Villa Park.
