West Ham United-owned Robert Snodgrass seems to rate his Aston Villa teammate Keinan Davis highly.
Snodgrass, who joined Championship club Villa on a season-long loan deal from West Ham in the summer transfer window, has been impressed with 19-year-old forward Davis.
The 30-year-old former Leeds United and Norwich City star has also said that the teenager has the world at his feet, and has suggested that he should be allowed to enjoy his football.
“He’s an exceptional talent,” Snodgrass told Express & Star about Davis. “He’s got the world at his feet. If he just keeps listening to the management team who keep guiding him along he’ll be fine.
“Don’t take his youth away from him, he should be able to go and enjoy and play his football, and want to score goals like he’s doing. You can’t teach that.
“I think that’s what he’s got right now. The manager doesn’t just want him to score goals, he wants him to work hard for his team also.”
Davis is a very talented and promising young forward, and the teenager’s performances for Villa so far this season have been very encouraging.
The English forward has scored two goals in eight Championship appearances for the Villans so far this season.
Steve Bruce’s side are seventh in the league table at the moment with 19 points from 11 matches, just a point behind sixth-placed Preston North End.
Villa will return to action next weekend when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home in the Championship.
Snodgrass joined West Ham from Hull City in January 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £10.2 million.
