Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia hails impact of 'real asset' Albert Adomah

Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia has hailed the impact of 'real asset' Albert Adomah.

The Ghana winger has impressed heavily since he joined Villa from English Premier League side Middlesbrough this season.

The 28-year-old has been heavily involved in the side's revival in the Championship.

And striker Jonathan Kodjia has hailed the Ghana winger.

 'Albert is a very good footballer" he said in an interview.

'We see that every day in training. He's had a few injury problems at the start of the season but now he's getting a run of matches, the fans will see his quality.

'He is a very good guy - always smiling, always joking, always bringing good feelings to the dressing room - and he's also a top player.

'Albert is very quick, very skilful, a good dribbler, he sets up goals, he scores goals.

'He's a real asset to this team - that's out there on the pitch and in the dressing room, too.

'He has a very strong mentality also. You cannot underestimate this quality. Without a strong mentality, you cannot succeed in professional football.

'I thought his performance in the last game at Brighton was of a real high quality. He was man of the match. He really showed his class.

'I am sure that will be the level he looks to repeat every week - and I am confident he can do that.'
