Aston Villa striker Rory Wilson is waiting for the chance to impress boss Unai Emery.

The 17-year-old has netted 11 goals in seven games for the club's under-18 side so far this term.

After scoring six in the last three matches, Wilson is being tipped for a first team bow.

“There are good challenges with the 18s and 21s so it is just a case of me pushing on," he told The Herald.

“I speak to John McGinn now and again. He is good with all the young Scottish boys at Villa. He's a top guy.

“I have scored 12 goals this season including the Scotland one on Sunday. I need to try and push on. We'll wait and see how many goals I score. I take it game by game.

"I don't have that much involvement with the first team, just now and again. I think it is really important though if I get the opportunity to go and take it and learn as much as I can."
