Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is happy working with Ollie Watkins.

Watkins struck in victory over Burnley last week.

Gerrard said, "He certainly hasn't surprised me, I was a huge fan from afar.

"It was no surprise to me he got a big move to Aston Villa. In the ten days that we have worked together his standards and application have been top. He's asking questions which I like because he wants to make sure he's doing the right thing."

On 20-year-old midfielder Jacob Ramsey and the Villa academy, the manager also said: "I've been really impressed with JJ because he's a humble kid and his standards are really high.

"He backed it up with his performances in training and that's why he got a start.

"There are a lot of talented players, it's important that they rehearse and play in a similar way to the first team."
