Aston Villa battling to keep Jaden Philogene-Bidace away from RB Leipzig

Aston Villa face a battle to keep hold of Jaden Philogene-Bidace.

The teen is a target for RB Leipzig and the Birmingham Mail says Philogene-Bidace his contract runs to June.

The winger scored a hat-trick on his England under-19s debut against Derby County's under-23s at St George's Park in November while, for Villa's under-23s this term, he's been on fire having scored five and assisted two from seven starts. Philogene-Bidace was also shortlisted for the Premier League 2 player of the month award for November.

The Londoner signed his first professional contract - believed to be a one-year deal - at Aston Villa in August. Philogene-Bidace featured for Dean Smith in Villa's pre-season friendlies before this season as well and, ahead of his deal expiring next summer, it's Leipzig who are keen to take him.
