His impressive technical ability, composure on the ball, and creative play drew widespread praise from scouts, coaches, and spectators.

The tournament success adds to a breakout year for Aloba, who earlier helped Aston Villa’s U18s to a historic treble-winning season, including an FA Youth Cup victory.

His performances have earned him training opportunities with the senior squad and growing attention across England’s youth football circles.

Aloba comes from a footballing family, with two of his brothers also in the Aston Villa academy system, and another currently playing for West Bromwich Albion. The family was present in Liverpool to witness his latest achievements.

Nicknamed “Da Bold,” Aloba joined Villa from West Brom in 2023 and is regarded as a future first-team contender. His rise reflects the strength of Aston Villa’s youth recruitment and development strategy.

With continued progression, Aloba is expected to feature more prominently in Villa’s U21 side next season and could be among the next wave of academy graduates to make a senior debut.
