Aston Villa's chances of survival may hang in the balance currently but they also face a difficult time off the pitch with interest increasing in some of their talented players.

Jack Grealish is likely to draw up a long list of potential suitors while another young player has attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League.

According to Football Insider both Manchester City and Arsenal are keen on youngster Jaden Philogene-Bidace, who has featured for the under 18s side this term, scoring six goals in ten games.

He is a promising talent if those clubs are paying attention to him. Many Villa fans seem to realise that, and seem to be concerned at the fact that he could be persuaded away from Villa Park, with one or two supporters suggesting the club is unlikely to sell.

The likes of Grealish and Keinan Davis are examples of successful academy graduates, but the Villans have lack a production line of youth layers in recent years, which perhaps makes fans more keen to hold onto Philogene-Bidace.

This season showed the club was dependent on spending big sums of money in order to give themselves a chance of staying up, but it is not a very sustainable method of running a football club, and that means Villa have to concentrate on developing their own and make sure they play for them before jumping ship.

However, it may be difficult to prevent the lure of the top-six clubs when they come knocking, as one supporter alludes to. Another reaction shows a fan who isn't concerned that Philogence-Bidace may leave, but at the fact that he hasn't featured enough anyway.
