Speaking on The Beautiful Game Podcast, Keinan Davis has outlined his intentions to leave Aston Villa in January on a potential loan deal.
The striker almost left Villa on loan in the summer before an injury stopped him in his tracks but now he’s keen to go out and get some game time to prove himself.
The 23-year-old has been very honest about his desire to go out and play more football.
What’s Davis said about Aston Villa?
Davis shared his views on his situation and future.
“To look at, it doesn’t look too good. The minutes I have got have been like eight or nine minutes, but it’s all appearances. I know it, the coaches know it and everyone in football knows it (how important it is to play),” Davis said.
“For me, I would say I need a good clean run of games whether that’s at Villa or somewhere else just to get experience and get goals and stuff like that.
“So is that something you’ll look at in the January window as well?” The host asked.
“Yeah, depending on what the club say, that’s something I would like to do, to play more consistent games, so yeah,” Davis concluded.
“For a player like me, I’m still young. I’m trying to find my way. Going down to the Championship, I wouldn’t see that as a step back at all.”
Best thing for him
A loan move would be the best thing for Davis right now.
Think about it, the striker isn’t in the best situation at Villa right now, with the likes of Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins ahead of him in the pecking order. At the age of 23, he needs to be playing.
There’s every chance he could impress on loan. After all, just look at how players such as Oliver Skipp and Marc Guehi are getting on in the Premier League after spending time in the Championship.
Davis certainly has the right attitude towards a potential move, and we can only hope the right opportunity comes along for him.
