Darren Bent has called on Villa striker Keinan Davis to be given a bigger role in the squad going forward.
The Ex-Villa striker, speaking to Football Insider, believes that Davis has huge potential, and he wants to see more of the striker in the Villa squad.
Davis scored on Tuesday night’s win over Crewe Alexandra at Gresty Road, with Villa progressing to the next round of the Carabao Cup.
When asked if he’d like to see Davis featured more in the Villa squad, Bent said:
You’d hope so, you’d like to think so. It’s tough, I’m always wanting youngsters to play but it’s tough when a team’s just been promoted in the Premier League, it’s a fine line between staying up and developing young players.
Hopefully we’ll see a lot a more of him and hopefully at some stage he can force his way into the team and the squad every week.
Davis looks to be Dean Smith’s third-choice striker at the club, behind Jonathan Kodjia and Wesley.

Every Villa fan must know that Davis is a very talented forward, and that the club can’t afford to waste his talents.
He, like new signing Wesley, is a great physical presence, and is very capable of holding the ball up and being a nuisance for opposition defenders.
It would be nice to see him given some game time, but, with Villa lacking depth up top, he could be given his shot if injuries disrupt the team.
