Josh Onomah has joined Aston Villa on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

Josh Onomah is a hugely talented and promising young player, and many would have expected the midfielder to have established himself as a key figure for Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Onomah made just five substitute appearances in the Premier League last season, playing a total of 18 minutes in the English top flight.

Earlier today, it was announced that the 20-year-old midfielder has signed a new four-year contract with Tottenham before leaving for Championship club Aston Villa on a season-long loan deal.

This is the first time that the England Under-21 international will play on loan at another club.

The Independent has explained why Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has decided to let the youngster leave the club out on loan for a season and play for Steve Bruce’s Villa in the Championship.

According to the report, Onomah seems himself as a box-to-box midfielder, but Pochettino does not trust him there and used him out wide last season.

However, the Tottenham manager has allowed the youngster to go out on loan and play in the position he wants to next season after getting advice from people close to him, claims The Independent.
