Aston Villa striker tipped for Premier League success after impressive loan displays

Aston Villa striker Keinan Davis has been tipped for a bright future in claret and blue.

The 23-year-old has been catching attention since joining Nottingham Forest on loan from Villa Park last month

Davis has been a standout performer in the Championship for Forest, as well as in FA Cup wins over both Arsenal and Leicester City.

In the Championship, he has scored twice in four appearances for Forest under head coach Steve Cooper.

Former Villa defender Alan Hutton has been impressed by Davis for a number of years and says he is "not surprised" to see Davis doing well in the East Midlands.

“It does not surprise me one bit," Hutton told Football Insider.

"We’ve spoken about him for a couple of years and it does not surprise me one bit.

“He’s built for it. He’s big, he’s strong, he’s powerful, he’s quick and he can score goals. His one problem was staying fit.

“If he can go away and prove his fitness, which he’s doing at the moment, and play well, there’s no doubt he can come back and be a player for Aston Villa.

“It doesn’t surprise me one bit. Of course, Steven Gerrard will be monitoring his progression. He’s doing excellently well, he just needs to keep it up.

“Keep putting in the performances, work hard, and I don’t have a doubt about him at all. He’s got all the attributes to be a top striker. It’s just about proving that week in, week out.”
