Ibrahim Mbaye Passes His Physical; Official Announcement Expected Soon at Aston Villa
The saga is coming to an end. Ibrahim Mbaye is set to sign with Aston Villa. Courted by several European giants, the Senegalese international has chosen the Villans.
The 18-year-old Senegalese forward successfully passed his physical on Sunday at the Villans’ training center. This is the final step before signing his contract.
Official Announcement Imminent
According to SkySports and Benjamin Querez of the newspaper Le Parisien, the signing is expected on Monday. PSG and Aston Villa have reached an agreement for 55 million euros. There has been no official announcement yet, but one is expected shortly.
A Bigger Role at Villa
A two-time European champion and two-time French champion with Paris, Mbaye is looking for playing time. With the Lions of Teranga, he already has 15 caps and 4 goals. Courted by several European powerhouses, he chose Unai Emery’s project to take his career to the next level. If the deal goes through, he’ll be reunited with a fellow countryman in Birmingham. Nicolas Jackson has also joined Aston Villa during this summer transfer window.
The end of a Parisian adventure
A product of the PSG youth academy, the future Ibrahim is set to leave the French capital’s club after winning everything at both the youth and professional levels. Aston Villa is acquiring a striker with great potential who is already experienced despite his young age.
