Kosta Nedeljkovic

Kosta Nedeljkovic of Aston Villa was born in Smederevo, Serbia on 16 December 2005 (age 20).

Kosta Nedeljkovic, born on 16 December 2005 (age 20), is a Serbian right-back with Aston Villa. He was playing senior football in Serbia as a teenager with Graficar, where his best league return came in 2022-23: one goal in 15 appearances.

Now at Villa, Nedeljkovic remains more prospect than established first-team regular. In 2025-26, he has yet to make a league appearance, though he has featured twice for Serbia in European World Cup qualifying. His market value is around £7m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to this point is still a short one: early senior minutes in Serbia, a move into the English game with Aston Villa, and some involvement at international level while he waits for regular club football.
