Villa Youngster to Join Town - Ipswich Town News

Aston Villa youngster Abube Onuchukwu is set to join Town’s academy, TWTD understands.

Onuchukwu is a central midfielder who will go into John McGreal and David Wright’s U21s squad next season after agreeing a two-year pro deal.

In 2023/24, the 18-year-old made 13 appearances in the U18 Premier League, scoring three goals before being released by the Midlanders.

Having signed as an U13, Onuchukwu is described on Villa’s official website as a "technical, box-to-box player”.

Earlier this month, young defender Leon Elliott joined the Blues after leaving Crystal Palace.
