Aston Villa brought in Jota from Birmingham City this summer, with Dean Smith a big fan of the attacker.

Aston Villa fans have raved about Jota in his first appearance since he joined from Birmingham City.
Villa raised some eye brows when they signed Jota from Birmingham, with some supporters having slight doubts over the transfer.
However, the Spaniard has wasted no time making an impression at Villa Park.
Dean Smith’s side won 3-0 against Minnesota United, with most their first-team squad receiving 45 minutes worth of football.
And Jota was the stand out performer of Villa’s new additions.
Jota is well known by Smith and the Villa boss has got the very best out of the winger before.
It seems that he could be a bargain for Villa, if he continues to perform to this standard over the course of the campaign.
Villa scored their goals against Minnesota through Jack Grealish, Henri Lansbury and Birkir Bjarnason.
