Aston Villa trio Mohamed Kone, Kadan Young and Zepiqueno Redmond are all reportedly expected to complete a move to FC Annecy.
The French side, who are part of Villa's multi-club network, have already received two loan deals from Aston Villa, with Travis Patterson and Triston Rowe having both been on loan at FC Annecy in the 2025/26 season.
As the clubs look to continue to strengthen their ties, the Athletic have reported that the Premier League side are set to loan three of their most exciting young players to Ligue 2 for the entirety of next season.
Highly rated midfielder Mohamed Kone, 18, officially joined Aston Villa from Ivorian side ASEC Mimosas in 2025, as part of a strategic partnership between the two clubs.
An Ivory Coast youth international, Kone is held in extremely high regard at the Villans, being widely viewed within the club as one of the most talented players in the academy.
Kadan Young, 20, has already had two loans away from Aston Villa, having previously represented both Royal Antwerp and Reading on a temporary basis.
Young has also made three appearances in the Villa first team, which included an assist for the winning goal in the Villans' 3-2 comeback win over RB Salzburg in the Europa League last season.
A pacy, tricky winger, Kadan Young has the ability to play off either flank and has been a stand out player for Villa's youth teams, scoring three goals in his four appearances in the Premier League 2 last season.
Dutch youth international striker Zepiqueno Redmond, 20, joined the Villans from Feyenoord on a free transfer last summer, before embarking on an unsuccessful loan at League One side Huddersfield Town for the first half of the 2025/26 season.
Injuries ultimately stifled his progress, limiting Redmond to just three appearances for the Terriers, though he did score one goal in those matches.
All three players will be eager to impress on loan with the French side, as they look to break through into the Aston Villa first team in the near future.
