Mbwana Samatta will make his Aston Villa home Premier League debut in Sunday’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
The striker joined Dean Smith’s men from Genk on a four-and-a-half-year deal for a deal worth £10 million.
His maiden home bow was in the English League Cup clash against Leicester City, where they triumphed 2-1 to reach the final.
Notwithstanding, Samatta will play in front of his new club’s home fans in the competition after he was named in Smith’s starting eleven for the clash against Jose Mourinho’s side.
Aston Villa are a point away from the relegation zone having garnered 25 points from 25 league outings.
