Brett Holman is backing Aston Villa teammate Christian Benteke to net 30 goals this season.

Holman believes the striker has all the attributes to trouble defences up and down the league.

"Hopefully he can score 30 goals for us this season," said Holman.

"He's already shown things that will help us. He can hold the ball up, get in the box, create havoc and score goals - those qualities about him all jumped out for me.

"I think it's a dream for a striker to score on his debut."
