The son of Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has joined the club's U21 team.

The Birmingham Mail reports Lander Emery was on the bench for their Birmingham Senior Cup win against Sutton Coldfield Town this week.

Emery, a goalkeeper, was on the bench after leaving Spanish club CD Roda B, who play in the Valencian League.

The 20 year-old appears all set to be part of the U21 team for the remainder of the season.

Villa won the Third Round tie against Sutton Coldfield Town 3-1.
