Villa captain John McGinn feels the summer arrivals have helped keep everyone on their toes amid growing competition for places within the squad.
Moussa Diaby and Douglas Luiz were among those to depart Villa Park but McGinn, who scored nine times in 53 appearances in all competitions last term, feels the squad is shaping up well ahead of the new season.
He said told the club: “Some joined earlier and others have joined us later but they’re all confident. Jaden and Ross have been around us before so they’re a little bit more comfortable but everyone has been good, really keen to get going.“For all of us who were involved last season and going to the Euros or Copa America was that it was a really demanding season.
“It was close to 70 games that I played so physically and mentally I needed the break. I managed to do that and now we’ve signed a couple of players so it gives you a little bit of a nudge to say up you get.”'I love him but he does not make it easy on himself' – Loyal mother of shamed footballer sticks by her son after seeing him jailed
