Full focus at Villa Park is on the upcoming play-offs, with Aston Villa one club in promotion contention.

Steve Bruce’s side know play-off football is guaranteed, with it looking likely that they will be going up against Middlesbrough in the semi-finals.

Of course, that will be all Bruce is focused on right now, but just around the corner is a big summer transfer window.

Whatever division Villa find themselves in next season, Bruce will be busy in the summer.

One area Bruce will have to address is the number of youngsters left kicking their heels at Villa Park, with some exceptional talent not getting a first-team opportunity.

Elsewhere in the Championship, we are seeing some really good talent coming through hand excelling, but that is not the case at Villa Park.

With that in mind, we take a look at THREE players who would benefit from a loan move away next season…

Villa’s supporters are desperate to see O’Hare get a first-team chance, with the youngster earning himself an excellent reputation in the academy.

However, that chance isn’t coming under Bruce and he needs to find first-team football elsewhere.

A move away next season will benefit both O’Hare and Villa.

Like O’Hare, Hepburn-Murphy is on the verge of a breakthrough at Villa Park, but opportunities are still limited.

Next season, a loan move elsewhere, with the guarantee of first-team football, will work wonders for the young striker.

Davis has been very useful to Villa this season, with the powerful striker impressing.

However, if promotion is achieved, it is hard to see that Davis will be a regular fixture in Bruce’s Premier League line-up.

Should that be the case, a loan away from Villa Park should be on the cards for the young striker.
