Aston Villa star-in-making Heaven Kilwa achieves quite remarkable feat
Unai Emery has made a habit of improving multiple young Aston Villa players since his arrival at Villa Park.
Morgan Rogers rise at Villa is arguably the best example, with the winger arriving from Middlesbrough as a relatively unknown player to become one of their biggest stars.
Now, while the men do not play until Sunday, there has been plenty of action elsewhere, including Villa’s academy.
Now, one prospect called Heaven Kilwa has emerged, who Emery will surely be keeping an eye on.
Heaven Kilwa nets for both Aston Villa’s Under 16s and Under 18s in same day
Emery has not been afraid of looking towards the academy to find talent, and he may have another excellent player to examine.
While Jack McGrath continues to shine for Aston Villa, another upcoming name is Kilwa.
The young winger is already well known in the academy, with his talent being clear to see.
Earlier this year, Kilwa had been called up for England’s Under 15s after an incredible run of form.
Now, this has seemingly continued into the new campaign, with the youngster overseeing an insane feat on the weekend.
According to The Villa Academy via X on 18 October, Kilwa netted twice for Villa’s Under 16s in a 7-2 victory over West Ham.
What an afternoon for Heaven Kilwa. 💜

However, his day didn’t end there, with the winger then being given a chance in the Under 18s squad, making his debut from the bench, before finding the back of the net again.
Unai Emery has to take advantage of current Aston Villa golden generation
At present, Aston Villa have multiple sensational academy stars.
Players like George Hemmings are on track to become incredible players at Villa Park if they reach their potential.
This is something Emery simply has to take advantage of and use any potential opening to give them first-team experience.
With the FA Cup on the horizon, this could be the perfect game to give some of these talents their debut if the draw is kind.
