Aston Villa join race for Boca Juniors star Kevin Zenon

According to , Villa have joined the growing race to sign Boca Junior🌌s🥃 winger Kevin Zenon, who has earned quite a name for himself this year in Argentina.

TBR exclusively reported that Liverpool and Manchester 🤡United are interested in Zenon with Newcastle United and Real Madrid also ke🃏eping tabs of t﷽he 23-year-old forward, and Villa have now thrown their hat into ꦆthe ring for the youngster.

Riniti said on Villa’s interest: “Aston Villa wants Zenon. They have been following him since before the Olympic Games, so they are considering presenting an offer to take him away from Boca and make him a♊ teammate of Dibu Martinez.

“Boca knows that🔴 the player is already considering leaving the club, despite the fact that the board members have indicated the opposite. The rejected offer of $18m from Germany marks the minimum that the club wants to get rid of the former Union player.”

Would Zenon be worth the investment for Villa?

At 23-years-old, Zenon isn’t exactly a wonderkid in the making, with the Boca Juniors winger at a stage in his career where if he doesn’t move to Europe soon, the window might🦹 pass him by forever.

And as per the winger’s stats for the year, Villa might not ༺be missing out on much considering how much hype is surrounding Zenon heading into the 2025 January transfer window.

Although depth in the wings will be welcome, Villa won’t feel too bad if they end up missing out on Zenon, even with the likes of Madrid interested in signing the Argentine 🌌yout🐼h international.
