Aston Villa will demand between £10million and £15million for Ajax target Tim Iroegbunam this summer, according to a report by Football Insider.

The midfielder, who is 20-years-old, is facing an uncertain future at Villa Park ahead of the next transfer window.

Iroegbunam played for Sutton United and West Brom before linking up with Aston Villa as a teenager back in 2021.

He has since been a regular for the Midlands outfit's youth sides and has made 12 appearances in all competitions for their first-team, eight of which have come this term.

Unai Emery is a fan of the youngster has recently told The Athletic: "(Leandor) Dendoncker and Tim have the same characteristics of Boubacar Kamara.

“For different circumstances, they are playing less than I wanted, because Tim was injured during pre-season. He came back in October. I am working with Tim and I believe in him and I want to progress with him in every practice. We have to support him to play with the same structure we have whenKamarais not available."

He added: "When I watched him on loan (at QPR) and now training every day, I believe in his potential. I kept him because I thought he would take more minutes than Dendoncker. We had to be strong in the decision.”

As Emery alluded to, Iroegbunam spent the last campaign on loan in the Championship at QPR to get some experience under his belt. He went on to play 32 games for the London club and scored twice.
