Tidiam Gomis, an 18-year-old promising French footballer, is set to leave Caen at the end of the season. Aston Villa had submitted two offers estimated around one million euros to acquire the young talent from SMC during this winter transfer window, but RB Leipzig managed to outpace them.

Aston Villa is reportedly nearing an agreement for the transfer of Caen's wonderkid, Tidiam Gomis, on a five-year deal. According to reports from France, Aston Villa is now leading the race for Gomis' signature, with expectations that the teenager will agree to a five-year contract starting in July. Until then, Gomis will fulfill his current contract at Caen and will move as a free agent in the summer, with Villa Park being his most likely next destination. The talented 18-year-old, who is highly regarded by top clubs across Europe, is considered a strategic acquisition by Aston Villa’s sporting director, Monchi, who aims to secure some of the best young talents in football. Under manager Unai Emery's leadership, Villa, now participating in the Champions League, presents itself as an attractive option for Gomis to further develop his career.
