The 19-year-old has made three senior appearances this season – one in the Premier League and two in the Carabao Cup.

Philogene-Bidace has also starred at age level and, on Monday night, scored a superb hat-trick as Villa ran out 8-0 winners over Stoke.

Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring for Villa inside the first five minutes of the Premier League 2 game.
