Kosta Nedeljkovic, a young right-back with 9 appearances in all competitions this season, will join Saint-Étienne on loan from Aston Villa without a purchase option. This transfer, occurring at the end of the winter transfer window, is seen as an interesting reinforcement for ASSE, as the club shifts its focus from Ognjen Mimovic, who is heading to Fenerbahçe, to securing Nedeljkovic.
