Aston Villa may have sold Omari Kellyman to Chelsea over the summer, but the 19-year-old continues to keep tabs on what’s happening at Villa Park.
On Tuesday, Kellyman took to Instagram to celebrate an exciting double update from B6, namely two top talents penning new contracts with the Villans.
Villa announced that academy midfielder Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba and young full-back Triston Rowe have penned new long-terms contracts with the club.
Both Jimoh-Aloba and Rowe took to Instagram to celebrate their new deals at Villa, and the Chelsea gem responded in the comment section of both posts.
Kellyman posted a heart emoji and a flame emoji in response to both players’ posts on the social media platform.
Who are Aston Villa duo Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba and Triston Rowe?
Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba joined Villa last summer after leaving West Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion.
The 18-year-old midfielder has impressed through the club's academy ranks, penning a professional contract 12 months ago.
Jimoh-Aloba has established himself as a regular for Villa’s Under-21s and featured for the first team in pre-season earlier this summer.
The England youth international was rewarded with a competitive debut as a late substitute in Villa's Carabao Cup win over Wycombe Wanderers last month.
Meanwhile, Rowe is an 18-year-old professional footballer who plies his trade for Villa as a right-back.
He captained Villa's academy team, who won the Under-16 Premier League National Tournament, before linking up with the Under-18s summer.
Rowe, also an England youth international, soon penned a professional contract with the Villans and has established himself in the Under-21 side.
He was named in Villa's first-team matchday squad for the Carabao Cup win over Wycombe.
