Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has backed new striker Wesley to be a success at Villa Park.

Wesley had a disappointing performance against Burnley last week.

His performance wasn't great on Saturday against Burnley and he was the first to admit that to me afterwards as well when I went through his clips with him," Smith said.

But what I've seen in training this week has been a reaction, he's trained very well this week and he'll be the first to go out there and try to prove people wrong.

It's a tough job as a lone striker and he was up against two street-wise centre-backs in James Tarkowksi and Ben Mee, both very strong and street-wise centre-halves who can give a lot of centre forwards problems in this league.

I think that they got the upper hand on [Wesley] early on in the game and he showed his frustrations a little bit during the game, but he'll learn from that.

He's a young striker, still only 22 and he'll get better and better."
