Aston Villa's Cameron Archer to discover loan decision next week
Cameron Archer expects to discover next week whether he will stay at Villa or head out on loan this season.
The 20-year-old, who netted in Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Brisbane Roar, is being wanted by a host of Championship clubs but could yet be kept on board by Villa boss Steven Gerrard as a third striker option behind Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins.
Gerrard is expected to make a decision on Archer’s short-term future when Villa return to the UK next week.
Archer explained: “He (Gerrard) said at the start he would let me know whether I will be going on loan or not at the end of the Australia tour.
“I’m going to do my best to impress him. Obviously, I would prefer to play here but whether I need to go out on loan to play games because that is what young players need, we will see.”
