Villa's Young has brothers attempting to emulate him

Aston Villa winger Ashley Young has made such an impression in the Premier League this season that his brothers are attempting to emulate him.

Young's 19-year old brother Lewis is currently with his brother's former club Watford and has performed well this season, managing a handful of first team matches.

But it is the 12-year old Kyle who is attracting attention as he continues to impress at Arsenal's youth academy.

"He's in the Arsenal academy system and everyone keeps telling us he's the next one off the production line," says Lewis in the April edition of Sky Sports magazine.

"He's turning a lot of heads. We've high hopes for him, but he has high hopes for himself. He's probably the cockiest out of the lot of us.

"He's 12, he started young. He could have started younger but Mum said 'No, not yet'."
