Aston Villa manager Unai Emery
Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Modou Kéba Cissé from LASK on a pre-contract agreement.
The 19-year-old will join Villa next summer for a fee of around £4 million, making it LASK’s second most valuable transfer departure.
Cisse, who was born in Senegal, came through the youth ranks at Real Ávila in Spain before signing for LASK in July of last year.
The centre-back made 10 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga last season and is considered an exciting prospect for the future.

Villa’s 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 Özcan.
Both defenders featured against Walsall last Wednesday, in what was Villa’s first pre-season friendly of the summer.
Kosta Nedeljković, meanwhile, signed in January 2024 for £6.5 million from Red Star Belgrade but has since joined RB Leipzig on a second loan spell at the German club.
