Aston Villa, Leeds watching Hearts prospect James Wilson

Several Premier League clubs are chasing talented teenage forward James Wilson.

The 16-year-old re-signed for Scottish club Hearts after he met with several teams in England and Scotland.

The likes of Celtic and Rangers wanted him up north, while Aston Villa and Leeds United were hoping to bring him to England, says the Daily Mail.

Instead, he will play for Hearts as he has signed a two-year contract with the Scottish club.

Wilson may believe that he has a better chance at regular first team football at Hearts.

A Premier League move may be on the cards, but only a few years down the road.
