Aston Villa are keen to get the summer signings in early, starting with Zepiqueno Redmond on a free transfer from Feyenoord.
The 18-year-old was in Birmingham last week with his representatives to agree terms on a four-year contract starting on July 1.
Redmond is a Netherlands Under-19s international who played four times for Feyenoord's first team in the Eredivisie last season.
