The 27-year-old netted 19 Championship goals for Aston Villa last term.
Albert Adomah has told Aston Villa’s official website that striker Jonathan Kodjia has an important role on and off the pitch.
The 27-year-old was a constant bright spark in an otherwise inconsistent campaign for Aston Villa last season, netting 19 Championship goals as the West Midlands side finished 13th in the table.
The Ivory Coast ace joined Villa – then managed by Roberto Di Matteo – for £15 million last summer and he has certainly proven himself a fine investment.
He was a revelation on the field, but Adomah, who also joined Aston Villa last summer, says that Kodjia is also a prominent figure behind the scenes, noting that his “immense” team-mate can find a smile just as easy as finding the net.
“Kodjia puts me to shame. I used to dance around a lot in the dressing room but I leave it to Kodjia now,” he told the club’s official website.
“He entertains and dances to his rap music. He’s got all the moves – like the dab as the youngsters call it these days.
“It’s fun watching him entertain us in the dressing room. He is definitely the funniest.
“With Kodjia, I just look at him and laugh, especially when there’s music on! He had an immense season on the pitch too. Forget his price tag, he’s done the business. He’s a striker, he’s there to score goals and he’s delivered.”
