Aston Villa new boy Jores Okore insists he is ready to prove his worth after returning to full fitness. "I hurt my hamstring in pre-season, but I am feeling good now and I'm feeling comfortable," the 21 year old told the Birmingham Mail.

"I don't feel anything in my hamstring any more. Now I just need to get some air in my lungs and then I'm good to go.

"I feel fine now and I feel confident.

"I'm really happy, it's been a great start for me with great players and they've really taken me in well."
