Aston Villa's promising right-back, Triston Rowe, has caught the attention of Championship clubs Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers, as reported by Football Insider. At just 18 years old, Rowe has yet to make his first-team debut under manager Unai Emery, but a loan move is now on the cards, which could provide valuable experience for the young defender while bolstering the squads of these second-tier teams ahead of the new season.
Both Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn Rovers are keen to secure Rowe, who played a crucial role in Aston Villa’s Under-18 team last season. His contributions were instrumental in the youth side's remarkable treble, clinching the Under-18 Premier League, FA Youth Cup, and Premier League South titles. Rowe's impressive performances earned him a spot in the matchday squad for Villa's Carabao Cup clash against Wycombe earlier this season, which ended in a 2-1 victory for the Villans.
After finishing 7th and 12th in the Championship last season, both clubs are eager to strengthen their squads as the summer transfer window approaches.
The potential loan of Rowe appears to be beneficial for all parties involved, allowing the young talent to gain crucial experience in the Championship while simultaneously aiding the ambitions of either Sheffield Wednesday or Blackburn Rovers.
