Following Mbwana Samatta's arrival at Aston Villa from Genk, many of the club's fans will have been looking out for as many indicators as possible about what his time with them could entail.There has already been a glowing endorsement from former Villa midfielder Aaron Tshibola, as reported by The Athletic, but a link to another player who previously represented the club has been drawn.Watch Aston Villa Videos With StreamFootball.tv Below

That is because Samatta has been given the number 20 shirt, which is the same one that Christian Benteke wore at Villa Park.

Plenty of Villa fans picked up on this immediately, stating that the striker wearing that specific number gives off "Benteke vibes".

They will be hoping that the Tanzania international can get close to Benteke's level of prolificacy, as he got 49 goals and 12 assists from his 101 games for the Midlands outfit.

Benteke's shoes are certainly big ones to fill, so Samatta will need to hit the ground running as Villa bid to maintain their Premier League status, especially with Wesley out injured.

It's the dawn of a new decade in the Premier League, but how much do you know about the last 10 years?

It can be argued that if the 27-year-old does manage to fire the club to safety, he could create a legacy for himself that would match the Belgian's.

Sticking with the theme, there were further Villa fans who thought of Benteke immediately but looked at it in a slightly more negative way.

The Crystal Palace striker has previously been linked with a January move to Villa, as reported by The Telegraph, but they have seen this choice as an indication that he may not be returning for now.

One fan stated that he "won't be happy", while another "thought we were saving the 20 for when we resign Benteke".

Meanwhile, Villa fans have had a strong feeling of schadenfreude.
