The forward, who joined the club for £16 million in 2016, featured 39 times in the Championship last term, but could only make six Premier League appearances for the Villans in the top flight this season.

He scored nine times for Dean Smith’s charges last term as they secured promotion via the play-offs, but couldn’t open his account in the big time in his few appearances.
