Aston Villa midfielder Albert Adomah has praised fellow teammate Jonathan Kodjia for the way he conducts himself both on and off the football pitch.
The 29-year-old attacking midfielder has just finished his first season with the Midlands club and he has become an integral part of the set-up as he made a total of 41 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals in the process.
Adomah was speaking to the club’s official website about his fellow teammates and he was quick to praise Kodjia not only for his contribution on the pitch but also for keeping team spirit high in the changing room.
“He entertains and dances to his rap music. He’s got all the moves – like the dab as the youngsters call it these days,” he said.
“For me, you just have to look at him and he puts a smile on your face.
“He had an immense season on the pitch too. Forget his price tag, he’s done the business. He’s a striker, he’s there to score goals and he’s delivered.”
Kodjia joined Aston Villa from fellow Championship side Bristol City in the 2016 summer transfer window for a fee around £11million.
The 27-year-old striker has enjoyed a fantastic debut season with Villa as he scored a total of 19 goals in all competitions.
His performances saw him called up to the Ivory Coast national team where he has found himself on the scoresheet three times this season, including an important goal in the crucial 3-1 victory over Mali in the World Cup qualifier in October.
The striker saw his season cut short at the end of April as he picked up an injury in Villa’s 1-0 defeat against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
Kodjia is expected to miss the start of the 2017-18 Championship season.
