Delfouneso handed new Villa deal
The 18-year-old, who scored twice for Villa in the UEFA Cup last season, has put pen to paper on a two-year extension to his current deal.[LNB]And Villa boss Martin O'Neill believes Delfouneso, named amongst the substitutes for Saturday's home Premier League clash with Bolton, has a massive future in the game.[LNB]O'Neill said: "I couldn't be more pleased. Nathan is a great talent and has real natural ability.[LNB]"He is ready. He is pushing on very strongly now even though you consider he is still very young.[LNB]"He has everything going for him. If he keeps learning, he's got a really good chance.[LNB]"I wouldn't want to put a great deal of pressure on him but, in terms of natural talent and strength and ability to go past players, I think he's got it all. The rest is up to him."[LNB]O'Neill added: "He is a great, great talent and I am absolutely delighted to have him here.[LNB]"He has been around the first team. I hope when he gets his opportunity - in the not too distant future - he can grab it.[LNB]"I have seen a few players in the past with great, great talent disappear at 21, 22 but I don't think that's in his nature.[LNB]"He really wants it and I think he has that determination about him. The football club will see the benefits in the next few years."[LNB][LNB]
