The 22-year-old midfielder will become a permanent Villa player, in the process activating a £35 million ($47m) transfer fee, if he appears in 10 Premier League fixtures for the club. With just five Premier League games including just one start under his belt, the former England under-21 star faces an uncertain future."
"First, my decision and also the situation. He is on loan playing with us, but he is not definitely adding to us with a permanent contract. Hopefully we can get the best for him and the best for us. I respect him as a player and as a person. He is training well, but we have one circumstance with him."
