Villa boss Lambert full of praise for new signing Helenius

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is delighted with what he's seen in preseason from Nicklas Helenius.

Helenius has impressed during pre-season following his move from Aalborg.

"He's a clever player Nicklas," Lambert told the Birmingham Mail. "He's another young lad that's come from another country, so he's settling in. But some of his touches have been excellent and his awareness is very good. He's a different type than Christian, totally different, but I'm pleased with him.

"We've given him an opportunity to hopefully give it a go. He's part of a good side with good guys in the dressing room. He's got good character and good mentality. I'm pretty sure he knows the size of this club and the magnitude of it and I'm pretty sure he'll fit in great."
