- Aston Villa: Where George Hemmings could take next steps as loan update drops
Aston Villa could soon allow George Hemmings to depart on loan.
The 19-year-old is seen as one of the brightest prospects coming through at Bodymoor Heath right now.
He has already made four senior appearances in claret and blue under Unai Emery, while making plenty more in pre-season friendlies.

That has already seen him feature in both games this summer against Walsall and Porto, scoring in the opener at the Bescot.
Excitement continues to surround his progress as he could well have his eye on further first-team chances in the new campaign.
That could soon be subdued as Hemmings could be allowed to seal a loan move elsewhere.
Where could George Hemmings join on loan?
There is a massive desire at Villa Park to see more academy stars make the step up to the first team.
Recent examples have been few and far between, which is something that everyone wants to change.
Villa News has covered how Emery can utilise Hemmings when the Premier League kicks off.

That may now be called off after Steve Tudgay reported via Full Throstle on Monday that the midfielder could depart on loan this summer.
West Brom are said to be monitoring him as a potential signing due to his creativity and ball-carrying talents.
Villa don't want to sell the Englishman, but could green light a temporary departure to allow him to pick up valuable Championship experience.
It could prove to be a bold call to let him go, especially with the current state of the squad in B6.

It would make total sense to loan out the 2007-born talent this summer.
He is arguably the best prospect in claret and blue, so his development could seriously benefit from a full season as a senior footballer.
The same can also be true that a campaign at Villa Park as a useful squad player could improve him greatly.
As it stands, Villa need a true replacement for Morgan Rogers and are piling plenty of hope on Johan Manzambi 's shoulders.
Hemmings could prove to be that man as Emery seemingly sees him as one of his wide attacking midfielder options.
The teenager could prove to be a top squad player in B6 this season, so loaning him out may be a risk.
