Aston Villa January transfer backed for former player that fans ‘loved’ and ‘idolised’

“Now, they’re going to find themselves in January in the same position.

“Now, we spoke about [Aleksandar] Mitrovic but also another one as well, and I was speaking to a couple of Aston Villa fans this morning at my academy game, and they were saying about bringing Benteke back, just because of how much they loved him.

“To be fair, that’s half the battle.

“If you can go somewhere and you’ve already got the fans on side, which they already will do because they idolised him, they loved him, then maybe they can kind of get that form back out of him.
