Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is eager to unleash new signing Carlos Sanchez.

Lambert is now looking forward to his most expensive summer signing giving him a selection headache against Newcastle United next weekend.

"Sanchez is a real tough player," he said. "With him coming in with his strength and his pedigree, it certainly gives you a problem alongside it.

"We've got Benteke and Kozak not far away too. Now if we can get one or two in that will do."
