Aston Villa sign teenage wonderkid compounding Manchester City misery: report
"Aston Villa have beaten their Premier League rivals in more ways than one over the past couple of days. Manchester City visited Villa Park looking to put an end to their difficult run in that particular corner of the West Midlands but were beaten 1-0 by Unai Emery's Villans. Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland was kept relatively quiet as the striker failed to score for the first time in 13 matches."
"Ibrahim Dosso, 16, currently represents Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas, with whom Villa share a club partnership, and will reportedly join up with Unai Emery's side in January 2027, upon turning 18. Villa's 'V Sports' ownership group is a partner and minority owner of the club from the Ivory Coast, which has previously facilitated the movement of highly-rated young players to Villa Park, such as 18-year-old midfielder Mohamed Kone, who signed earlier this year."
Aston Villa defeated Manchester City 1-0 at Villa Park, keeping Erling Haaland scoreless for the first time in 13 matches. Haaland's previous blank came on August 23 when City lost 2-0 to Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium. Ibrahim Dosso, 16, plays for Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas and is due to join Aston Villa in January 2027 after turning 18. Villa and ASEC share a club partnership through the V Sports ownership group, which is a partner and minority owner of the Ivory Coast club and has previously moved prospects like Mohamed Kone to Villa. ASEC are considered to produce technically sound, physically strong prospects, while wealthy clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea frequently target top young African talent.
