Report: Aston Villa to splurge on young English talent

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has reportedly targeted summer moves for a number of young English players excelling in the Championship this season.

Leeds United duo Sam Byram and Lewis Cook and Ipswich Town pair Tyrone Mings and Ted Bishop are four of the players to have caught Sherwood's eye, according to The Sun on Sunday.

All four have played key roles for their clubs this season and none are older than 22.

Byram has been a Leeds regular since 2012 and has over 100 appearances for the Yorkshire side, while Cook, Mings and Bishop have enjoyed breakout campaigns this term.
