Aston Villa’s Rising Star Yasin Özcan Signs Contract Extension Until 2030

Aston Villa have confirmed that promising young defender Yasin Özcan has signed a new long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. The deal reflects the club’s commitment to building a future around its most talented young players and securing their core squad for the years ahead.

Özcan, who joined Villa from Turkish club Kasımpaşa, has quickly made a name for himself in the Premier League with his composure, physicality, and tactical awareness — rare qualities for a player still in the early stages of his career. Since arriving at Villa Park, the 18-year-old has impressed both fans and coaching staff with his development and maturity on the pitch.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, Özcan expressed his excitement and gratitude:

“It’s a proud moment for me to commit my future to Aston Villa. The club has shown great belief in me since day one, and I’m fully focused on continuing to grow, improve, and help the team achieve success.”

Villa manager Unai Emery also praised Özcan’s progression and potential, calling him “one of the most exciting young defenders in Europe.”

“Yasin has a fantastic mentality and a strong work ethic. His performances have been consistent, and we believe he has all the tools to become a top-level player for Aston Villa.”

The extension until 2030 ensures that Villa are not only protecting one of their most valuable young assets but also sending a strong signal of intent about their long-term ambitions — both domestically and in European competitions.

With Özcan now secured for the foreseeable future, Aston Villa fans can look forward to watching a key piece of the club’s future develop at the heart of their defense for many years to come.
