Aston Villa have a star on their hands in Ibrahim Mbaye. The 18-year-old was signed in the summer in a £47million deal from Paris Saint-Germain.
That looks like a bargain right now, as the young winger is set to play a huge part in the B6 side's next era. Unai Emery's side were demolished in a 3-0 drubbing by Barcelona in the Champions League.
However, Mbaye still comes out with credit, despite that dismal result for his side. The 18-cap Senegal international proved that he is vital to the future of the Villans against Hansi Flick's side.
