# Fans on social media say ‘yesss’ as Aston Villa make transfer decision on Kesler Hayden

Aston Villa [confirmed](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/january/09/kesler-hayden-returns-to-villa/) on Sunday morning that Kaine Kesler Hayden has returned to the Midlands following his short-term spell at Swindon Town. The 19-year-old [joined](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kaine-kesler/transfers/spieler/626888) the Robins on a season-long loan in August and impressed so much in League Two that Villa have cut the move short.

Kesler, who has made [23 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kaine-kesler/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/626888) for Villa’s U18s, 20 appearances for the U23s and once in the first-team, featured 21 times for Swindon and looks more than ready to step up. The England U20 international could now be used as Matty Cash’s backup or to be loaned out to a Championship club. Fans on [social media](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1480109842727583750) are excited either way, as Kesler’s future looks bright.

> Thank you [@KaineKeslerHayd](https://twitter.com/KaineKeslerHayd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) for your time! Quality player and will be a starter in no time at all. P.S I don’t suppose you have any other talents you can send our way for our promotion push?

> I fully trust Gerrard & his team on this. Got a bit of TAA about him. Ramsay was exposed to the first team when "not ready" & is now thriving. Gerrard is no stranger to witnessing young talent being catapulted into first team if deemed good enough. Glad to see this happen.

> FA youth cup winning captain. Successful loan. Possibly Swindon’s mom vs Man City. 19yrs old. Has huge self belief. Attacking full backs like him are a special commodity.

The 19-year-old put in a brilliant performance in Swindon’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester City and Villa acted quickly. Cash has been a regular at right-back, so it’s highly unlikely his place is at risk, but Kesler would provide a great secondary option if Steven Gerrard wanted to hand him sporadic first-team opportunities.

It’s more likely, however, that he’ll be loaned out to a better club than Swindon. Playing fourth tier football seems beneath Kesler, so he might be sent to a second tier side instead now.
