The Villans youngster is set for a bright future and it remains to be seen whether a chance will be forthcoming next season.
Brentford defender Yoann Barbet has been linked with Aston Villa.
The 26-year-old has been a revelation at Villa Park since signing for the club during the January transfer window.
The rampant Villans edged themselves into the play-off places with a comprehensive win over a hapless Boro.
The 28-year-old has been in good form this season, but his quality has really shone when playing alongside Grealish and John McGinn.
The midfielder ran the show on derby-day to give his side a sniff of the Championship’s top-six.
The midfielder has been one of the Villans’ best players during the 2018/19 campaign.
The defender arrived at Villa Park in January looking to play regular football after slipping down the pecking order at Bournemouth.
The Villans will surely be forced into a different transfer market strategy should they fail to reach the Premier League and that could bode well for some of the club’s youngsters.
