Aston Villa striker Tammy Abraham has netted four goals already since joining on loan.

Dean Smith has labelled Aston Villa striker Tammy Abraham ‘one hell of a talent’ in the Daily Mail.

Abraham scored the winner for Villa in Smith’s opening game in charge, as the claret and blues beat Swansea City 1-0.

The Chelsea loanee powered in a header early on, and even though he was guilty of missing a series of chances after that, Villa did enough to hold on.

And Smith said: “He’s a handful, and he’ll know better than me that he should be walking a way with the matchball tonight.

“But he scored the winning goal, he’s a hell of a talent.”

Abraham now has four goals for Villa, with the striker scoring in three consecutive matches.

New signing Tammy Abraham of Aston Villa poses for a picture at the club's training ground at Bodymoor Heath on August 31, 2018 in Birmingham, England.

The powerful forward looks as if he will have a key role to play at Villa this term, with Smith clearly taking a liking to him early on.

Villa’s performance against Swansea was encouraging, with Smith’s influence already clear.

The Villans pressed far more aggressively and could have won the match by a greater margin had they been more clinical in front of goal.
