Aston Villa have agreed to re-sign Manchester City midfielder Kane Taylor, according to Football Insider sources.
Personal conditions have been agreed upon with the 19-year-old after City accepted a bid of just under £1 million for his services. The deal will also include a 25% sell-on clause for any future transfers.

A clear recruitment structure. Aston Villa continues its recruitment push as Kane Taylor’s deal with Manchester City is agreed upon.
Taylor departed Villa Park to join Manchester City in 2019, signing a scholarship deal with the club in 2021 before receiving his first professional contract later that year.
The Birmingham-born midfielder has played extensively for Manchester City’s junior teams but has yet to make the first squad under Pep Guardiola. Last season, he made 28 appearances in all competitions, including significant roles in the Under-21s’ UEFA Youth League and EFL Trophy campaigns.
Taylor’s senior experience comes from his EFL Trophy outings against Grimsby, Barnsley, and Bradford.
He was eager to make the move away from City. Summer in quest of regular senior football and a clearer path to the first team.
