Makoun thrilled with welcome from Aston Villa fans

Jean Makoun is delighted with the welcome he's received from Aston Villa fans.

Makoun told the Birmingham Mail he was happy fans had already taken to him.

"I am pleased about that," he smiled. "The jumper was a present. I love being here and I love the atmosphere.

"It was great to play in front of the home fans. When I was presented at the Manchester City game it was a great feeling to come to the game and be there. The Fulham game was absolutely fantastic as well.

"To draw at home and to lose two points is hard but what we have to do now is concentrate on the next game and win that one.

"Even though we didn't win I would never have dreamt I'd have got man of the match so I am very happy.

"I feel a bit stressed because we didn't win but I am concentrating on the next game. I like to remain as relaxed as possible."
