The 20-year-old England Under-21 international only joined the Midlands club from Juventus last month in a double deal with Argentine midfielder Enzo Barrenechea worth 22m euros (£18.6m).

That deal was announced the day after Douglas Luiz signed for Juventus from Villa for £42.35m.

He was part of Chelsea's academy before joining Juventus' youth team and made his senior debut in May 2022.
