Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn has enjoyed an excellent start to life in the Premier League.

The club are currently struggling on the results front, with Dean Smith’s side having taken just four points from six games, but the Scotland international has been catching the eye.

The ace has helped himself to two goals so far, and he also assisted Anwar El Ghazi’s goal against Everton.

McGinn, 24, appears to be tailor made for the English top-flight and is surely going to be key to Villa’s survival hopes.

He has made a big impression on pundits and viewers of Premier League football, and leading football statistics website WhoScored actually have him as one of the division’s best players after six rounds of fixtures.

According to the site, McGinn has won more Man of the Match awards than any other player this season with three.

While the player is not in the top five highest rated players (Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Roberto Firmino and Bernardo Silva), the data certainly highlights what a huge player he is for Villa and how much he influences games.

TBR’s view

McGinn’s high level so far should have Villa fans feeling massively optimistic going forwards.

He has been the standout player and will likely be the individual who makes things happen judging from his performances so far.

The ace loves to shoot as evidenced by his six efforts against Arsenal on Sunday and is has the intelligence and vision to get the most out of Wesley and the other forwards.
