West Brom permanent sale was finalised before 11pm with no official announcement yet for Keilan Quinn deal
Aston Villa have signed Keilan Quinn from West Brom for £1million according to Express and Star but an official announcement is yet to be made.
The deal was understood to be finalised before the 11pm deadline on 1 February and that’s what the news outlet are claiming a day later.
However, there is no official word from either club or the 16-year-old midfielder about the confirmation of the deal.
Strange
The transfer may have been completed but not announced as deals involving youth players may not always receive the same level of public attention as senior transfers, leading to delays or omissions in announcements.
Additionally, both clubs might prioritise finalizing paperwork and ensuring regulatory compliance before making a public statement.
Furthermore, given Quinn’s age, there might be additional legal or administrative procedures to complete, contributing to the delay in confirmation.
Despite the lack of an official announcement, it’s plausible that the deal has indeed been finalised, as it’s been reported by reliable sources.
Regarding Quinn’s departure, it represents a significant loss to West Brom’s under-18s team.
His talent and potential suggested he could have progressed to the first team in the future, making him a valuable asset to the club’s youth development pipeline.
Losing Quinn to Aston Villa not only weakens West Brom’s youth setup but also underscores the competitive nature of acquiring and retaining promising young talents and selling a potential first-team ace to a rival club.
