Coveted Feyenoord youngster passes medical and moves to Aston Villa
Zepiqueno Redmond has passed his medical at Aston Villa, according to Sky Sports (via VoetbalPrimeur). The Feyenoord striker will be a free agent from 30 June and will sign a contract in Birmingham until the summer of 2029. Redmond's contract in Rotterdam expired at the end of this season, and talks between both parties about a possible extension eventually came to nothing. The 18-year-old striker experienced a lot of interest from abroad. Advertisement In addition to Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, AFC Bournemouth and AC Milan were also reportedly charmed by the youngster. Villa ultimately decided to persist with Redmond's signing. The forward's entourage had previously reached an agreement with the Birmingham club on a contract until mid-2029. Sky Sports reported on Tuesday afternoon that Redmond has now successfully passed the medical at the Premier League club. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Fenerbahçe target PSV star and report to Eindhoven
Fenerbahçe have set their sights on Noa Lang, according to VoetbalPrimeur and Türkiye Gazetesi. The Turkish club sees the PSV wideman as the successor to Allan Saint-Maximin, who returns to Saudi club Al Ahli after his loan period. According to the Turkish daily, new sporting director Devin Özek is rolling up his sleeves to create a championship-worthy side at Fenerbahçe. This season, arch-rivals Galatasaray once again won the title in the Süper Lig. Lang is considered one of the main transfer targets. Advertisement The Dutch international matches the qualities that coach José Mourinho wants, being fast and technically skilled. Fenerbahçe have reportedly already contacted PSV. The intention is for both clubs to sit down next week to discuss a transfer. The 25-year-old left winger is expected to cost around 25 million euros. However, there is still a threat of competition for the Yellow Canaries. Napoli and Olympique Marseille, among others, have already been linked with Lang. Lang is not entirely unfamiliar with Turkey. He played briefly in the youth of Besiktas, when his stepfather Nourdin Boukhari was active at Kasimpasa in the 2009-10 season. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Brian Brobbey blackmailed: explosive reports emerge about Ajax striker
As per Het Parool and VoetbalPrimeur, Ajax's Brian Brobbey has reportedly been the victim of blackmail. A good friend of his was 'shot as a result and barely managed to survive'. According to Dutch investigative circles, Brobbey fell victim to what is referred to as the 'Holleeder method'. This refers to when one Willem Holleeder and his accomplices deliberately created fake conflicts in which they made wealthy businessmen believe that they had problems with heavy-hitters from the criminal circuit. They then offered to solve these fictional problems in exchange for large sums of money. Advertisement Brobbey's unfortunate situation concerns the notorious Antillean-Amsterdam criminal Jeymon A. (31) according to sources within the police and justice system. He used a 'classic extortion trick' to get the better of Brobbey. Jeymon A., known in the underworld as 'Piccalo', approached the Ajax striker in 2022 at Valhalla, an annual festival at the RAI complex. During that approach, Brobbey was told that 'Moroccans from Utrecht' were looking for him. Jeymon A. claimed to have solved that for him, but made it quickly known that he wanted a fee. Brobbey claimed that he did not know the 'Moroccans from Utrecht' and told the story to a good childhood friend, who at that time was himself the subject of an investigation into drug trafficking. While it's likely Brobbey did not know that at that time, the childhood friend promised to solve the problem himself. Reports of attacks During the night of 15 to 16 January 2023, Brobbey's mother-in-law's mailbox was damaged with heavy fireworks. Two months later, an explosive was set off at Brobbey's car on the night of the 18th of March. This attack resulted in a tumultuous night for the striker, who came on as a substitute in the 77th minute a day later in De Klassieker, when Ajax lost 3-2 and ultimately gave up the title. Advertisement At first, the police assumed intimidation came from Feyenoord hooligans. However, it was later linked to the extortion of Jeymon A. With this, the incidents only got worse. First, his sister-in-law's car was set on fire. Then, two months later, on July 9, Brobbey went to play padel with his brothers and his childhood friend. In the evening, said friend met Jeymon A. on his own initiative, to try and solve the problem. Following a confrontation, the friend was eventually shot and barely made it to a police station. Reports continue, claiming that although the childhood friend didn't want to say anything about the incident, later phone records show that he 'took a bullet for Brobbey'. Subsequently, the pressure on the Ajax man increased. The striker received a text message that he 'has to pay 150,000 euros before the end of the month, otherwise they will do it differently'. It is also claimed that they know where he lives. Advertisement Fortunately, the shooting incident turned out to be Jeymon A.'s last violent incident after he was arrested for various cases. He has now been sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempted manslaughter of Brobbey's childhood friend, possession of a firearm and possession of 1.6 kilos of MDMA. There are no indications that Brobbey paid the money. The striker is said to have given his childhood friend money, but according to him, that was unrelated to the incident. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

The Icelandic Thórisson has signed a contract with Sparta until mid-2028. It is not clear how much the club have paid for the 25-year-old striker. What is clear, however, is that technical director Gerard Nijkamp is very happy with the move. Advertisement 'In the past six months, Nökkvi's loan spell has been very good for both us and him. In the conversations we had, it quickly became clear that he was happy at Sparta and that we both wanted to continue working together for a longer period of time.' Thórisson played twelve Eredivisie matches for Sparta in recent months, scoring two goals in the process. The forward is one of the many players who played on loan under coach Maurice Steijn this season. While Thórisson stays, Carel Eiting, Kristian Hlynsson, Gjivai Zechiël and Mitchell van Bergen will all return to their parent clubs. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Frimpong cheaper than thought: Liverpool seriously interested
According to VoetbalPrimeur and Ben Jacobs, there is a good chance that Jeremie Frimpong will leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer. The Dutch international arrives as an interesting transfer prospect because of his contract's transfer clause. According to the reporter, a Frimpong move is 'obvious'. Several top European clubs are showing interest in the 24-year-old. Liverpool, among others, have some of the most concrete interest. The Reds are looking for a successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who announced his transfer-free departure this week and will soon be presented by Real Madrid. Advertisement Frimpong is also a bit cheaper than previously thought. His contract's clause means that he can be picked up for 35 million euros, a pleasant reduction given the previously reported buyout sum of around forty million. The Oranje international's market value is estimated at fifty million. This season, Frimpong was again of great value to Die Werkself, providing four goals and twelve assists in 47 official matches. Frimpong also made his mark in the Dutch national team. He was the star performer in March and turned heads during the first meeting with Spain in the quarter finals of the Nations League.
