The 18-year-old scored twice in a week for the Aston Villa under-23s.
Aston Villa youngster Rushian Hepburn-Murphy has been in the news lately, as the club try to tie him down to a new contract offer.
But he has also been in good form and sent out a tweet yesterday celebrating as such.
Aston Villa’s Rushian Hepburn Murphy in action
He scored in a 3-3 draw with Fulham for the Villa under-23s this week and then scored again yesterday in a friendly against Shanghai SIPG’s youngsters who were on a visit from China – a game they won 5-0.
So here is the tweet in question…
The teenage forward has been linked with a move away from the club, with Scottish side Rangers said to be keen.
He has been offered a new contract, as his current deal expires in the summer, and Aston Villa want to keep him at the club as he is a talent Steve Bruce sees as a potential starter going forward.
Aston Villa are about to lose Jonathan Kodjia and Jordan Ayew to the African Cup of Nations and the 18-year-old might now get a chance to get some regular first-team football after Christmas.
