Zepiqueno Redmond could develop into a 'deadly' striker for Aston Villa.
That's according to his former Feyenoord coach Pascal Bosschaart who believes the 19-year-old has the physicality to be successful in Claret and Blue.
The Dutch youngster is currently on loan at League One Huddersfield Town, having joined Villa on a free transfer and made a deadline day move to the Terriers.
Redmond could make his English football debut against Bradford City this weekend - and he will do so with Bosschaart's glowing endorsement ringing in his ears.
"I think he's a good person and a good player as well," Bosschaart, who was his Under-21 coach at Feyenoord, told Sky Sports.
"I think on the pitch, he's a player he will not give up. He puts 100 per cent always on the line. And in the dressing room, he is a character. He's a funny character.
"He's willing to help everyone looking after the boys as well, because I had him last year at the other 21s before he made his debut in the first team.
"The mentality, the physical side of him, everything is there.
"Of course, he needs to improve some football skills, but I think actually in England, it's maybe a little bit more physical and I think it suits him very much.
"He can play a few positions on the right-hand side, forward and in the centre. But I think he's more of a striker in the box.
"His physical capabilities are already great, and I think he can still improve that a little bit. Inside the box, I think he can be deadly. But I think he will be an outstanding player."
