Villa aspires to Ruud Nystad
According to a report from SportsBoom, Aston Villa are interested in him and hope to conclude a deal before the summer. They need more quality in their defensive unit and the 18-year-old would be a solid long-term acquisition for them.
Tyron Mings is expected to leave in the summer and will need to be replaced. Signing a talented young defender would be a wise decision. He could be a quality long-term investment for them and could develop into a key player with the right guidance.

Neistat could consider a move to the Premier League
The opportunity to move to the Premier League would be a very exciting one for the 18-year-old. It will be a big step up in his career and he will try to prove that he is at the highest level.
Neistat has a number of options ahead of him and it will be interesting to see if he is willing to join the West Midlands club. He needs to choose his next destination carefully. He should join a club that gives him regular chances. Sitting on the bench at a big club is not going to help him. Aston Villa could provide him with the platform he needs. They have a quality team and a top-level manager like Unai Emery. The Spaniard could play a key role in his development.
