Gabriel Agbonlahor: 'Libor Kozak has adapted well'

Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor praises teammate Libor Kozak for how he has adapted quickly to life in England.

Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor has praised teammate Libor Kozak for adapting quickly to life in the Premier League.

Kozak has scored two goals in eight games for Villa since joining the club from Lazio for £7m in the summer.

Despite competition for places at Villa Park, Agbonlahor believes that the Czech Republic international has settled in well in England.

"It must have been difficult coming in knowing he has to compete with Christian [Benteke] - one of the best strikers in the world," he told the club's official website.

"He has come in, scored and has been a handful. People need to know you can expect too much of him.

"It's a new setup, new football, and it takes a while to get used to it."

Villa return to Premier League action on November 25 when they travel to Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion.
