Aston Villa have confirmed the appointment of Monchi as their president of football operations - and a trusted reporter says a Leeds ace is on his wishlist.
The England youth international made his debut for Aston Villa in their U18 fixture versus Tottenham Hotspur and also featured against Fulham before his development was halted by injury.
Even at that, academy manager Mark Harrison, who was delighted Ruben penned his first contract with the team, claimed the club would soon see the best of him.
“We are delighted Ruben has signed his first professional contract with us,” Harrison was quoted by
“His game time has been hampered by injury but once he is back fully fit we look forward to him fulfilling his potential, which is very clear to see.”
