Cardiff City and Derby County are reportedly interested in a loan move for Aston Villa midfielder George Hemmings.
The 19-year-old is highly-regarded at Villa Park and he has produced a number of eye-catching performances for the club's development squad.
Hemmings also broke into the first-team last season and featured twice in the Premier League along with two outings in the UEFA Europa League.
A number of Championship teams have been mooted as potential destinations for Hemmings next season as the club explores the option of providing the midfielder with first-team football in the next stage of his development.
On The Minute have reported that the Cardiff and Derby are amongst the clubs who are keeping tabs on Hemmings.
A season of regular first-team opportunities could propel Hemmings into the first-team picture at Villa Park this time next season.
The cut and thrust of the Championship is a step up in quality and physicality but the Villa academy product is expected to adapt well.
A move to Cardiff would make sense as the club looks to stablise in the Championship following their promotion from League One.
The chances of breaking into the first-team at Derby could be slightly trickier given the addition of Bobby Clark and the Villans will want to make sure that they choose the right club if they do sanction a move.
