Aston Villa have confirmed young goalkeeper Oliwier Zych has been allowed to travel to his native Poland and join Puszcza Niepołomice on a loan deal.
The young shot-stopper, who has been an integral part of the Midlands club’s youth academy, is now set to embark on his next challenge as he seeks to forge a way into Unai Emery’s first-team plans.
After making 26 appearances for Villa’s under-21 side and keeping three clean sheets along the way, Zych, who will spend the rest of the 2023-24 season out on loan, is expected to return and challenge the likes of Emi Martinez for the club’s number one jersey.
