Given the current financial state at the club, it seems to be all doom and gloom at the moment at Aston Villa.

After losing the play-off final against Fulham, Aston Villa have run into financial difficulties, forcing owner Dr Tony Xia to actively seek a buyer and landing them in all sorts of trouble.

It looks like it will be a case of out with the old and in with the new this summer at Aston Villa.

John Terry has already departed and a number of high-earning first-team players will be moved on to generate some much needed cash, including stars like Jack Grealish and Jonathan Kodjia as well as others such as Henri Lansbury and Ahmed Elmohamady.

Luckily for Villa, they have a terrific academy at their disposal and they will be able to promote several new faces to fill the gaps in the squad.

After seeing the likes of Andre Green and Keinan Davis thrive in the first-team in the last couple of seasons, here are four new faces who could be introduced next year.

Aston Villa fans have seen a bit of Hepburn-Murphy but will want to see a lot more from the talented England under-20 international.

The 19-year-old is prolific at youth level and could well be handed the chance to star in the first-team set-up next season.

With Aston Villa possibly looking to flog Mile Jedinak, Glenn Whelan and Henri Lansbury this summer, a vacancy could open up in central midfield for Republic of Ireland youth international Doyle-Hayes.

The 19-year-old is regarded as one of the best young players on Villa's books and he could be integrated into the first-team next year.

One of Aston Villa's most exciting young talents is England under-20 international O'Hare.

The 20-year-old plays as a striker or as an attacking midfielder and will want to add to his eight senior appearances next season.

Versatile defender Clark, 19, could be handed first-team opportunities next season as he is able to play at right-back, left-back or in the middle.

You may expect the Wales youth international to be one of a number of academy defenders promoted if Villa cannot sort replacements and Easah Suliman and Jacob Bedeau might also get chances.
