Aston Villa fans have been gushing on Twitter after footage emerged of new signing Mbwana Samatta in a recent Villa training session.
This comes after Villa fan Twitter account @villareport shared a post on their page that included a video clip, originally shared by @footballdaily, of Samatta taking part in his first training session as a Villa player.
Should Samatta start against Leicester in the Carabao Cup next week?
Yes
No
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans who were over the moon to see their new striker in his first training session.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans reacting to the footage of Samatta:

The Tanzanian striker signed for the club earlier this week from KRC Genk on a four-and-half year deal. Now that footage has emerged of Samatta getting ready to take part in his first training session as a Villa player, some fans of the Birmingham club on Twitter have been unable to hold their excitement.
Infectious Smile ?
This lad I have total faith in and I haven’t a clue about him!
You can just tell he’s not going to stop until he proves to his homeland that he’s a success in the biggest league in world football. A man with a plan! Total energy!! UTV ?— Curtis ? (@Curtis13784566) January 23, 2020

What do we think?
It’s good to see the Villa fans happy that Samatta is getting his first taste of life as a Villa player. The faith they have put in him even before making his first appearance as a Villa player is commendable. These fans will now be hoping that Samatta can return the favour by scoring plenty of goals for his new club.
