Sky Bet Championship side Aston Villa are set to trigger an option to extend the contract of young midfielder Callum O'Hare until the end of next season, according to reports from the Birmingham Mail.

The youngster is highly thought of at the West Midlands club, and is believed to be one of the brightest prospects to come through the youth ranks since Jack Grealish did in 2014.

The 20-year-old has made five starting appearances for the Villans over the last couple of years, and has also made four appearances from off the bench in the league.

But the playmaker has come into his own on loan with League Two side Carlisle United this season, scoring two goals and producing two assists for the Cumbria side this term.

Plenty of Villa fans will be hoping that the attacking midfielder can continue his fine form over the coming seasons, and potentially become an adequate replacement for Jack Grealish if he leaves for the Premier League.
