Aston Villa are one of the clubs keen on Jaden Brissett.

According to The Daily Mail, Brentford midfielder Brissett is a target for Aston Villa, Charlton Athletic and Queens Park Rangers. All three teams are monitoring the 18-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

Brissett is yet to make his debut for the Bees. But he has been the standout player for the Brentford B team this season. With 12 goals and nine assists in 18 matches, the teenager’s talent has not gone unnoticed.

Brentford have a host of talented attacking midfielders blocking Brissett’s path to the first-team. He recently spent time at Maidenhead United, playing three games on loan in the National League. But he could be set for a Premier League move.

Dean Smith knows Brissett from his time at Brentford and he could swoop. The former Norwich City starlet is approaching the final six months of his contract so his future is in doubt.

There was some mixed reaction from Aston Villa fans. Some criticised the decision to target Brissett while others said he was one for the future. Here are the best tweets.
