Falkirk's new signing Ben Broggio has revealed he was sold on a move to the Premiership after talking to Scotland star John McGinn.
The Aston Villa teenager is an FA Youth Cup winner and has been on the bench for the Villans three times but hasn't yet made his debut for the Premier League club.
He now has the opportunity to develop at Falkirk as he aims to help John McGlynn's side finish as high up the table as possible.
The 19-year-old, who can play in central midfield or out wide, hopes to bring some "magic" to the Bairns and is confident he can make the most of the experience.
"I spoke to Ginny at Villa, the captain, and he said it would be a really good opportunity for me," Broggio told Falkirk TV.
"He told me a bit about the club and his brother as well, which can be a good link from one club to another.
"I've heard a lot of good things about the club and how they play football. Hopefully, that will suit me.
"It will be a bit different. At Villa I've always been a bit in my comfort zone. Obviously, to move away from home and the club that I've been at since I was nine or 10 years old, it will be a good experience. To play Scottish football, it will be a bit different. I'm aware of that.
"I think I can be up to the challenge. Hopefully I can show them what I can do on the pitch.
"I'm a confident player. I feel like when I've got the ball at my feet, I can do a lot of things and create a lot of magic.
"Obviously, I look to drive the team up the pitch and get the ball, dribble past players, get the fans off their feet and try and create chances and get a couple of goals and assists. Hopefully I can bring that to the table."
