Jonathan Kodjia was brought to Aston Villa from Bristol City last summer.
Jonathan Kodjia has told Aston Villa’s official website that the club’s supporters have been brilliant for him.
Kodjia was brought to Villa from Bristol City over the summer, and he was the most expensive signing that Roberto Di Matteo made.
While some of Villa’s summer signings have not had the impact expected, Kodjia has most certainly been a success.
The Ivorian has already scored six times for the claret and blues, despite playing much of the season as a winger.
And Kodjia believes that the support that he has received from Villa fans has helped him settle at the Midlands club.
“I am loving life at Aston Villa,” the powerful forward said. “The fans have been brilliant with me. My team-mates have been fantastic. I have such good sensations here. It’s a great place to be – on and off the pitch.
“I certainly feel the support of the fans. They have really backed me. The players are happy because we’re on a good run – and I am very pleased to see that the supporters are happy for the same reason. It’s great to see the smiles on their faces. That’s what I want to see.”
Kodjia currently tops Villa’s scoring charts, and he has arguably been their best player over the season to date.
The 27-year-old is playing a key role in Steve Bruce’s starting line-up, as Villa look to start climbing the division.
Villa are still unbeaten since Bruce took charge, and now sit in 16th place in the Championship table.
