With Steven Gerrard succeeding in turning things around at Aston Villa, his attentions will already be turning towards the January transfer window and the kinds of new signings that he could make to strengthen his squad.
And while the former Liverpool skipper would be right to cast his eye far and wide for those potentially game-changing additions, he might want to look closer to home to see someone who could really get Villa Park rocking: Jaden Philogene-Bidace.
The 19-year-old was in fine form last year for the club's U23s, scoring five goals in just 14 games at Premier League 2 level, as well as providing three assists - that's not to mention the superb hat-trick he scored on his England under-19 debut last November either.
His former coach Ahmed Abdulla has raved about his ability as an out-and-out winger, and judging by the coach's comments, he seems perfectly ready to grab his opportunity in senior football.
Abdulla said: "He can come inside or go on the outside. The model winger. He hugs the touchline and can beat his man. (He’s) Very confident and very light on his feet and skips past tackles, not one of them that gets hit and goes down. He bounces off tackles. He’s very strong and outstanding in one-v-ones."
The Birmingham Mail's Ashley Preece recently indicated back when Dean Smith was in charge that while the winger is highly-rated, a January loan move could be on the horizon.
He said: "It's crystal-clear that Philogene-Bidace remains highly thought of at Bodymoor Heath, his challenge now now is to stay patient and be ready when called upon.
"A Championship loan move could well be in the offing in January but, as it stands, Villa have a serious talent on their hands, one who's primed and ready to make his mark in the Premier League."
But with injuries and other issues no doubt taking its effect, handing an opportunity to one of the club's brightest young prospects from the academy could be a sure-fire way to save a lot of money and get the fans excited too.
While much of the talk at Villa has been around Carney Chukwuemeka - which is understandable given his superb performances in the FA Youth Cup last season and recent game-time too - Philogene-Bidace could well be the academy starlet to become the club's secret weapon heading into the new year.
