Speaking about his transfer, Dobbin said: “I’m really happy to be here. It’s the perfect opportunity to get first-team minutes and show what I can do.

“I’ve heard a lot about the Championship and I know it’s a tough, competitive league. I’m ready for it, though. I really want to show what I’m about.

“I like to excite the fans and get them out of their seats. I love to score goals and create goals, so hopefully I can do lots of that here this season.”

Many of his Villa teammates responded to his move with classy messages on Instagram, including fellow new signings Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley. Onana said “My man” while Barkley wrote “Good luck lad”. Morgan Rogers also said “Good luck brother”.
