Purslow raves about Aston Villa’s Carney Chukwuemeka

The youngster is a part of Villa’s U23 side and he has shown tremendous growth recently.

Purslow claims that Aston Villa are looking to promote such talents through their academy. He believes that 22-year-olds playing in a U23 side means that the club’s youth system is failing.

22-year-old players should be in the first-team squad if they progress as expected.

Purslow’s claims certainly make a lot of sense. It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can bring these talented youngster’s into the first-team fold in the coming years.

The Premier League club have recently signed a talented youngster in Louie Barry from Barcelona.
