The 23-year-old will hope to follow in the footsteps of his brothers, who have both tasted glory this season.

Younger brother Juninho helped Groningen win the KNVB Beker – the Dutch equivalent of the FA Cup – earlier this month.

Older brother Johnson then followed up with more success for Harkemase Boys in an amateur league title decider.

It means the pressure is on Leandro when Villa look to win their first FA Cup in 58 years against Arsenal.

He said: "It is brilliant for my family at the moment. My little brother played the cup final in Holland.

"My bigger brother played in a final at amateur level and obviously we have the FA Cup final on Saturday.

"Juninho played in the last few minutes of the final and I was really pleased for him.

"It was a great atmosphere. I was really happy for him because it was his first season in the first team so to win a cup was great – especially as I didn't get a cup while I was there."

Both brothers will be in the crowd at Wembley along with the rest of the family, where Leandro will be hoping to edge out Alan Hutton for a starting place at right-back.

Bacuna added: "It is good to have that competition and have a good battle for your place.

"It is going well for me at the moment and I hope I can keep on playing a few more games until the season finishes. Alan was in good form before he got injured.

"When we need to do our jobs we both do it the best we can. We both want to play games but when the team is winning we are happy."

Villa boss Tim Sherwood has, meanwhile, been linked with a move for Swindon midfielder Ben Gladwin after the Robins missed out on promotion to the Championship.

Sherwood is known to be a fan of the 22-year-old, who can play in a variety of positions and has had him watched on several occasions.
