Aston Villa have signed defender Kosta Nedeljkovic for an undisclosed fee from Red Star Belgrade.

The length of the contract has not been specified but the 18-year-old will spend the rest of the 2023-24 season with Red Star.

Nedeljkovic made his senior debut for the Serb club in August and has made 12 appearances throughout the season.

The full-back is a product of Red Star's academy and has also represented Serbia at youth level.

Red Star are currently second in the Serb Superliga, but struggling in their Champions League group with just one point from six matches, while Aston Villa are fourth in the Premier League.
