The Aston Villa teenager is one of the more impressive talents at the club.

Aston Villa have recently appointed Steve Bruce as their new manager and the former Hull City boss will have plenty of attacking talent at his disposal at Villa Park.
The likes of Jonathan Kodjia, Ross McCormack and Jordan Ayew are present – whilst both Rudy Gestede, Libor Kozak and Gabriel Agbonlahor cannot be overlooked.
Aston Villa’s Rushian Hepburn Murphy in action
But a post on social media yesterday certainly suggested that Villa should also be looking to bring in another of their talented forwards.
The player in question is teenage striker Rushian Hepburn-Murphy.
He posted this photo on his Twitter account yesterday, holding the PL2 Player of the Month award:
He scored two goals in three games for Villa’s development team in September and also featured in the Championship for the first time for Villa.
The 18-year-old, who was originally given his Villa debut by Tim Sherwood in March 2015, has since had a battle with injury and is now clearly on the path back toward the Villa first-team.
Bruce will now surely have to keep him in consideration for the Villa first-team going forward.
Hopefully he can go on to prove himself an Aston Villa regular in the eyes of his new manager.
