Aston Villa management are ready to keep hold of their U23 players over January.
Villa will reportedly turn down offers for the majority of their U23 side in January amid their desire to make their academy one of the UK's most productive.
A number of lower-league teams are understood to be eyeing up loan deals for their attacking starlets at the turn of the year, including 18-year-old Jaden Philogene-Bidace and 17-year-old Louie Barry.
Tyreik Wright, 19, may be granted a loan move away from the club next month having been denied departures in the last two windows.
But 17-year-old Carney Chukwuemeka, who was branded the best English midfielder of his age by CEO Christian Puslow last year, will not be going anywhere despite reported interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham, reports the Daily Star.
