Jacob Ramsey's boxer father helped him go from a 'small and slim' academy player to Aston Villa's breakout star at 20... he's thriving under Gerrard and alongside Coutinho - and he could now be a surprise name in England's World Cup plans

The Aston Villa limelight has been taken up by some quality midfielders over the years.

Gareth Barry and James Milner stepped into it and went on to win Premier League titles elsewhere. Jack Grealish, now England's most expensive player, looks set to do the same with Manchester City this season.

The newest name looked set to be Philippe Coutinho but now there's a new kid on the block. Jacob Ramsey may be raw to the bright lights of Villa Park but there's now every belief that the 20-year-old can follow the likes of Milner, Barry and Grealish as England internationals.
