Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke reveals that he is pleased with the signing of striker Libor Kozak from Lazio.

Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke has revealed that he is pleased with the signing of striker Libor Kozak from Lazio.

The Czech Republic international arrived at Villa Park at the start of the month on a four-year deal.

Kozak came off the bench for his Villa debut during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United in the Premier League.

"I am pleased to have Libor with us," Benteke told the club's official website. "He will help me and the team a lot. We can bounce off each other.

"I haven't trained much with him because he's been with the national team. But you can see he has good quality in finishing. I hope he is going to put some goals away for us."

Villa return to league action on Saturday when they face Norwich City at Carrow Road.
