According to transfer guru and peddler of Twitter ads, Fabrizio Romano, Lino Sousa is set to join Aston Villa in a permanent deal this month.
The 19-year-old left-back began his career at West Brom before joining the Arsenal Academy in 2022, and now he looks set to return to the Midlands.
He has trained with the first team at times, and last season he was part of the squad for the 3-0 win away at Brentford, but he has yet to have any involvement in competitive action for the senior team.
Reports suggest his contract expires this summer, and it might be a case that Arsenal are willing to let him go now in order to earn some return before a free transfer in the summer, although any fee at this point is set to be minimal anyway.
The transfer window closes tomorrow at 6 p.m. We usually do a live blog, but this time around we’ll just cover the stories here on Arseblog News, as there’s little chance of anything particularly interesting happening.
