According to an update by The Daily Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath, Senne Lammens is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are mulling over signing a goalkeeper in the last two days of the summer transfer window amid the continued speculation surrounding Emiliano Martinez. So, the 23-year-old Royal Antwerp shot-stopper has emerged as a target for the West Midlands outfit.
The Zottegem is also a target for Manchester United, with the Red Devils hoping to secure his services in a late deal after extensive talks with Royal Antwerp. However, recent updates suggest that Galatasaray will aim to steal a march on Manchester United, although Lammens is reportedly keen on joining the Red Devils in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Senne Lammens has established himself as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in the world since joining Royal Antwerp from Club Brugge in July 2023. The 23-year-old has made considerable progress in the last two years, and he is the heir apparent to Thibaut Courtois’s position as the first-choice goalkeeper for Belgium.
The Belgian goalkeeper has made over 50 appearances thus far for Royal Antwerp while keeping 12 clean sheets and conceding 86 goals. Meanwhile, Lammens’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Galatasaray are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Manchester United’s interest in Senne Lammens makes sense. Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir have been unconvincing throughout their stints with the Premier League club, with the duo producing several errors in each game they have played this season. So, Lammens has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United, with recent reports claiming a move is close.
As for Aston Villa, Emiliano Martinez’s long-term future remains uncertain amid the renewed links with Manchester United. The Red Devils have reportedly submitted a new enquiry to seal a late move for the Argentine international if a deal for Lammens does not materialise. So, the Royal Antwerp goalkeeper is an option worth considering for Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray will be desperate to sign a goalkeeper before the summer transfer window shuts down after parting ways with Fernando Muslera. While recent reports have linked them with Ederson Moraes, Lammens is also a viable target. With the Turkish Super Lig champions submitting a bid to secure his services, the 23-year-old Belgian’s future remains in the balance.
