John McGinn is making quite an impression at Aston Villa.
Speaking to Aston Villa’s official website, Steve Bruce has singled out John McGinn for praise.
Aston Villa drew 1-1 at Ipswich Town on Saturday as Bruce’s side lost their 100% start to the Championship season.
But there were plenty of positives with regards to individual performances.
Jonathan Kodjia scored his first goal for Villa in the best part of 11 months after his 2017-18 campaign was decimated by injury and later a horrendous loss of form and confidence.
But the man who set up the Ivorian was McGinn, who produced another brilliant performance.
The 23-year-old midfielder enjoyed an excellent debut against Wigan Athletic last weekend and McGinn – a £2.1 million summer signing – followed that up with more of the same yesterday.
“I was delighted with him again. He’s had a wonderful week with us,” he told Aston Villa’s official website. “It was a great ball for the goal and very quickly he’s become very popular.”
It certainly looks like Bruce pulled off something of a bargain in McGinn and he might just have a massive role to play for the Villans this season.
