Josh Onomah believes he will return to Tottenham Hotspur a vastly-improved player, and is desperate to succeed at Villa.

The midfielder won the World Cup win England U20s in the summer and has already made a mark in the Championship with three goals and a string of impressive performances.

But he’s desperate to add a promotion-winning campaign to his CV before even thinking about his White Hart Lane future.

“Obviously I want to do well here and help Villa get promoted, then go back to my parent club and get back in the team,” said Onomah.

“There is a lot of competition but that is football for you. You have to take it on board.

“Promotion is the aim now at Villa.

“We believed from the start of the season with the players we had, the staff we had.

“We believed we could get promoted.

“We are just taking every game as it comes and hopefully come May we are where we want to be.”

Boss Steve Bruce has spoken highly of the 20-year-old who has had a big impact since arriving on a season-long loan.

He admits that a permanent move is unlikely, though, as Villa simply don’t have the money available to buy him, plus Spurs also have plans of their own for his future.

Onomah admits he is still learning the ropes and that there’s plenty more to come.

And the remainder of the season at Villa will help his development before he returns to the Premier League regardless next term.

“The last few months have been like a dream, really.

“From winning the World Cup, it had never been done before. Scoring for the under-21s as well, it was a massive moment for me.

“I just have to keep on going. I just have to carry on in this positive mood.”

So how does he do that?

“It’s the people around me.

“The experienced players here, they keep me level headed and remind me I have not reached where I want to reach yet.

“Last season I did not play as much as I would have liked.

“This season I am playing and enjoying it.

“The gaffer is always talking to me, being positive with me.

“A manager like that, who played in the Premier League and had a good career, it’s good to learn from him.”
