Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Modou K\u00e9ba Ciss\u00e9 from LASK on a pre-contract agreement.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old will join Villa<\/a> next summer for a fee of around \u00a34 million, making it LASK\u2019s second most valuable transfer departure.<\/p>\n

Cisse, who was born in Senegal, came through the youth ranks at Real \u00c1vila in Spain before signing for LASK in July of last year.<\/p>\n

The centre-back made 10 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga last season and is considered an exciting prospect for the future.<\/p>\n

Villa\u2019s president of football operations, Monchi, has been keen to recruit a number of youngsters over the past year, including the likes of Yeimar Mosquera and Yasin \u00d6zcan.<\/p>\n

Both defenders featured against Walsall<\/a> last Wednesday, in what was Villa\u2019s first pre-season friendly of the summer.<\/p>\n

Kosta Nedeljkovi\u0107, meanwhile, signed in January 2024 for \u00a36.5 million from Red Star Belgrade but has since joined RB Leipzig on a second loan spell at the German club.<\/p>\n
