He's just a teenage Dongou baby

Aston Villa could be on the verge of capturing highly promising Barcelona teen Jean Marie Dongou on-loan for the rest of the season.

Dongou, 18, has emerged for Barca’s renowned youth set up where he has developed a free-scring reputation.

A spell playing in the Premier League can only be beneficial to the Cameroon Under-20 international's development so a deal could be in the offing, though the Spanish club are only likely to agree to the deal if the lad is guaranteed some game time.

The player caught the eye in the first season of the NextGen Series , in which he finished as equal top scorer with seven goals, a feat emulated the following season by our very own Graham Burke.

Despite' his tender years he's already made an impact on the Barca first-team getting a goal and an assist in the Copa Del Rey tie with FC Cartagena in December.
