Here we rank the best Aston Villa youth stars under twenty. Included in this list are a trio of forwards on the first team, with a pair of defenders yet to debut.

5. Keinan Davis, 19, Striker

Number five on our list introduces a forward who made his debut in 2017. Keinan Davis, 19, has two Aston Villa appearances to his name.

Davis’ combination of raw athleticism and penchant for finding the back of the net at youth levels makes him an intriguing prospect. To make the jump to first team regular, Davis must refine his game in the final third.

Just two short years ago, Davis was playing regularly for non-league side Biggleswade Town FC. Not bad for a nineteen year old making his debut against Tottenham Hotspur.
