Ollie Watkins has told Sky Sports, during their live Premier League coverage, that he absolutely loves being at Aston Villa.
Villa won 3-0 against Arsenal yesterday, with Watkins finding the back of the net twice.
The powerful front-man first scored a header, before tucking away Villa’s third with a neat left-footed finish.
Watkins now has scored six goals in his first seven Premier League matches.
And Villa’s record signing says that he is really enjoying his time with Dean Smith’s side.
“I’m loving it [at Aston Villa],” he said. “There obviously may be some pressure, new signing and everyone wants you to perform but I just need to get my head down and get the goals.”
Watkins looks to have been a wonderful addition to Villa’s squad, with Smith’s side making a seriously bright start to the campaign.
Last season the claret and blues often lacked a goalscoring threat, but with Watkins up-front they have been far more dangerous this time around.
Villa’s win over Arsenal has launched them into sixth place in the Premier League table, and the signs are that they are set for a much improved season compared to last year, when they battled against relegation for much of the campaign.
