The 18-year-old has been scoring for fun for Villa’s under-23 side lately, so it will surprise few people that he is so highly rated according to Football Manager 2017. The striker – who is attracting attention from Rangers currently (via Daily Mail) – is surely pushing for a chance in Steve Bruce’s side. Football Manager suggests his best current attribute is his acceleration.

According to Football Manager, the 18-year-old has the potential to be a better player than the highly-rated Hepburn-Murphy. Like the striker, his best attribute currently is his acceleration, and he will be hoping to continue impressing for the under-23 side in the hope that it puts him on Bruce’s radar.

The 18-year-old is deemed to be the brightest prospect coming through at Aston Villa at the moment, with Football Manager suggesting that he has the potential to become a five star player. The winger has made six appearances for the first-team this term. And while all of his Championship appearances have come from the bench, it seems that it may not be too long before he is featuring more regularly.
