Former Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton has claimed that club-record signing Wesley can build on his goalscoring performance last time out.

What's he said?

Just before the international break, Aston Villa managed to pick up only their second win of this Premier League campaign with a dominant 5-1 victory over Norwich City.

Wesley doubled his tally for the season by scoring a first-half brace, but it could have easily been a hat-trick as the 22-year-old saw his penalty saved by the Canaries' goalkeeper.

This has led to Hutton claiming he could do better, but he also believes Wesley is able to do precisely that with momentum now on his side.

Speaking to Football Insider, the 34-year-old said:

“He’s come from a different league into the Premier League and it’s arguably the toughest division in the world, so it’s going to take him time to settle down.

“He’s scored a few goals now, I think in the game against Norwich, he did well, in spells, he got a few goals, obviously he could do better, but he’s there to score goals and that’s what he has done.

“Hopefully his confidence will be high and he can build on that and enjoy his football.”

Patience

Wesley was always going to be put under the microscope after costing the west Midlands club £22m, but it would be unfair to judge him this early, considering it is only October.

As Hutton says, it is the first time he has played in a country and league as good as the Premier League, so the 6 foot 3 colossus understandably needed a little patience to help ease him into his new surroundings.

It's not been helped by the lack of options supporting him as he's been the only fit senior striker for the most part.

However, four goals in eight games is pretty good going - and as highlighted here, he's doing a lot better than some of the other new arrivals to the English top-flight.

He's now netted three goals in as many matches, so maybe that has set a foundation for him to kick on for the rest of the season.
