Aston Villa boss Dean Smith is reportedly keen to test out all of his options at Villa Park.

According to the Birmingham Mail, both Aaron Tshibola and Andre Green could be reconsidered for a chance at Aston Villa.

Steve Bruce sent both Tshibola and Green out on loan in the summer, but the change of management could benefit the young pair.

Dean Smith is said to be more open to assessing their qualities.

And Villa may well allow them their chance to break into the first-team, when they do return from loan in January.

Tshibola has been loaned out to Kilmarnock this season, and he has impressed in Scottish football.

Green, meanwhile, has struggled with injury on a loan spell at Portsmouth.

Bruce loaning out Green was a controversial move at the time, as there was a feeling he could have added to Villa’s attacking threat if he stuck around.

Smith’s side could certainly do with a boost going forward, as they have struggled so far this season, and currently sit in 17th place in the Championship table.
