Aston Villa is pleased to announce the signing of exciting Egyptian talent, Omar Khedr, from Zed FC.
The 17-year-old winger has put pen to paper on a pre-contract agreement with the club and will join officially on 1st July 2024 when he turns 18, signing a long-term deal.
Khedr’s arrival marks the first signing since Aston Villa and Zed FC entered a collaboration agreement earlier this year.
Highly sought after, Khedr’s signature is a significant coup for Aston Villa’s Academy, with the Egyptian Under-17 international attracting attention and admiring glances from clubs across the continent and further afield.
Khedr spent time earlier this month at Bodymoor Heath being shown around the High Performance Centre, meeting Unai Emery's first-team stars as well as club legend and fellow Egyptian, Ahmed Elmohamady.
