Aston Villa boss Dean Smith believes midfielder Emiliano Buendia will prove why they made him their record buy.
The Argentine has been restricted to 33 Premier League minutes since his last top-flight start against Brentford in August, when he scored.
"He has a lot of qualities but the one I have seen over the last three or four weeks is a drive and desire to succeed," said Smith.
"I think all players need that and he has that in abundance.
"We have never put any pressure on trying to handle any price tag or numbers because the players aren't in control of that.
