A number of Aston Villa fans have urged Dean Smith to consider giving Aaron Ramsey senior game time after winning the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.

The 18-year-old attacker has been making waves in the Villans academy in the last few years and is now flying high at Under-23s level.

Last season, Ramsey scored six goals and claimed up three assists in 13 games for the U18s, leading to his promotion to the U23s this term.

Despite being one of the youngest players in Villa’s U23s, he has hit the ground running at this level, with nine goals and four assists in 17 Premier League 2 appearances.

Ramsey was in especially amazing form in March, claiming nine goal contributions in just four games at age level.

He registered two goals and assist in the PL2 win over Sunderland on 1 March, scored once against Burnley and bagged another brace and assist against Stoke, though Villa lost both games.

Ramsey then captained Villa’s U18s in their 3-0 victory over Brighton in the FA Youth Cup and helped himself to another brace.

His heroics over the month led to him being named the Premier League 2 Player of the Month, and plenty of Villa fans were eager to congratulate him.
