Premier League club Aston Villa have agreed a partnership with Japan's Vissel Kobe which will see them share resources to improve youth development, both teams said on Thursday. “The partnership will look to further open up pathways for talented Japanese players to play in Europe and, ultimately, at Aston Villa,” Villa said. Villa added that two players from Kobe's Under-16 team will train with their academy this month, while Villa's academy team will compete in an international tournament in Japan in 2024.
