Tottenham Hotspur have loaned Josh Onomah to Aston Villa for the rest of the season.

Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has told the Birmingham Mail that he wants to sign Josh Onomah from Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent transfer.

Onomah has joined Villa on loan from Spurs, and his performances have impressed at the Midlands club.

The 20-year-old has had to bide his time for regular action at Villa, but he was unleashed against Fulham yesterday, and the Tottenham youngster was in sparkling form.

Villa beat Fulham 2-1 this weekend, with Onomah putting in a stand out display.

The youngster showed his creativity and poise throughout the contest, as he looked a cut above many of the other players on the pitch.

And Bruce has admitted that Villa will look to take Onomah off Spurs’ hands, but the claret and blues boss concedes that the England youth international will be expensive.

“Josh Onomah was terrific today,” Bruce said.

“We’ll try and break the bank for him!

“But we know Spurs have got a very good player there.”

Mauricio Pochettino was reluctant to even loan Onomah out, so it would be a major surprise if Tottenham were open to selling the prospect.

Onomah is considered a huge talent by Tottenham’s coaching staff, and has been lined up as a player who could have a first-team future in the coming years.
