Dean Smith raves about Aston Villa striker Tammy Abraham

New Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has showered praise on Tammy Abraham after his match winning performance in the Championship this week.

Abraham, who joined Villa on loan in the summer from Chelsea, has hit the ground running at his new club.

Villa defeated Swansea 1-0 at Villa Park in Smith’s first game in charge on Saturday. Abraham scored the only goal of the match and took his goal tally to four in the Championship.

“He’s a handful, and he’ll know better than me that he should be walking a way with the matchball tonight,” said Smith, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
