One of Aston Villa men appears to have agreed to move abroad again consecutively in two seasons on the deadline day.
Aston Villa transfer business has been completed on the deadline day with 10 incomings this summer. Their latest arrivals were Ibrahim Mbaye and defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Unfortunately, their massive arrivals also means they have to release some of their youngsters, either on loan or permanently.
One of them is the promising right back, Tristan Rowe. According to getfootballnewsbene.com, he has sealed his move abroad.
“Charleroi have announced the signing of Aston Villa defender Triston Rowe on loan until the end of the season. “
The 19-year-old full back gained interest from a number of clubs before the deadline day. Interestingly, Charleroi was not one of them.
Earlier in the summer, two second tier sides in England, Stoke City and Blackburn were keen on signing him. The former was expressing their interest but no formal offer was on the table yet, whereas the latter was monitoring his situation as early as January.
Another potential suitor was from Ligue 1, Stade Brestois. They intended to make an approach to sign him following his brief spell in Ligue 2 side, FC Annecy. However, they too have not made any formal talks to negotiate his move yet.
In the end, Royal Charleroi, the current league leader, swooped to snatch Rowe, who has yet made his senior debut in the Premier League with the Lions. He has taken the number two shirt and expected to provide competition in the right flank. In fact, he could be making his debut immediately as their first choice right back, Antoine Bernier, can be deployed in the left flank.
Triston Rowe has been part of Unai Emery’s team during the pre-season but not getting his first minute with the first team yet despite already being promoted. The right back who could operate in the heart of the defense as a centre back has made 46 appearances with the U21 team, contributing one goal and three assists.
Last season, the Sandwell-born defender was loaned out to Aston Villa’s sister club, FC Annecy in the second tier. He was fairly in form with one goal and two assists in 31 appearances and helped them finish seventh in the standings.
Based on the data in FotMob, Rowe did quite well on the attacking side. His xA was 2.42 with 73.4 % for his rate in successful passes. He created 18 chances with 21 % successful crosses. His winning duel rate last season was 38.5 %. Rowe also made 130 defensive contributions. He made 51 tackles, 25 interceptions, 52 clearances and two blocking shots.
He surely was hoping to make his debut with Villa in this campaign following the departure of Kosta Nedeljkovic to Glasgow Rangers. Yet, the arrival of Aaron Wan Bissaka denies his chance as Matty Cash’s deputy. Should he perform well and Charleroi agrees to activate his buying clause, Rowe might have to develop his game abroad.
