Aston Villa youngster Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba is close to joining Championship side West Bromwich Albion on loan before the winter transfer window closes, according to The Athletic.
The 19-year-old England U20 international of Nigerian descent spent ten years at West Brom before moving to Villa in 2023. He has enjoyed a rapid rise this season, impressing in youth football and earning senior opportunities.
His progress included a Premier League debut against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Last Thursday, he scored his first senior goal at Villa Park as Aston Villa fought back to beat Utrecht 3–2 in the Europa League.
West Brom have reportedly agreed terms, with an announcement expected soon.
