Aston Villa sign 21-year-old Japan goalkeeper Akane Okuma, according to multiple reports. The move brings Okuma into the Premier League club’s squad as a new goalkeeping option. She is described as a Japan international goalkeeper, and all available accounts focus on the announcement of her contract rather than additional details such as transfer fee or contract length.
BBC Football and Yahoo Sports both report the signing using the same core information: Okuma is 21 years old and joins Aston Villa. The articles present the transfer as an official recruitment by the club, with no competing figures or differing claims about her identity or age. Beyond the confirmation that Aston Villa has completed the deal, the sources do not provide further context such as previous clubs, the duration of the contract, or when she is expected to be available for selection.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the key point that Aston Villa have announced the signing of Akane Okuma, a young Japan goalkeeper.
