We asked for your views on the deal to bring Tammy Abraham back to Aston Villa in an £18.25m deal.

Abraham helped Villa win promotion via the Championship play-offs in 2018-19 and has since played for Roma, AC Milan and Besiktas.

Here are some of your comments:

Richard: Tammy at that price is an excellent acquisition. Proven goal scorer in three European leagues and obviously wanted to be part of Emery's Villa project. I look at the vast amounts of money the so called big six have spent on strikers last summer that haven't exactly worked out and have to smile at Villa's shrewd business partly thanks to spending/wage restrictions. The icing on the cake is getting Luiz back on loan.

Chris: Great bit of business for Villa and competition for Watkins. Could do them both good in terms of the England squad.

Mike: This is a brilliant signing. Knows the league, knows the club, and has bundles of fan goodwill after his previous stint with Villa. And if part of his thinking is to get back into the England conversation ahead of the World Cup, that's a direct challenge to Ollie Watkins' place on the plane.

Kevin: I absolutely love this situation, loved Tammy when he was with us before and never wanted him to leave, really excited about the rest of the season.

Prit: Delighted. Really happy that Tammy Abraham has returned, I really do feel Aston Villa is his team. Had we not been in such a precarious financial position when we got promoted, we would have signed him, so it's good business to get him in now. From a football perspective, we desperately we need more fire power up front and share the load from Watkins.

Anthony: I loved Tammy the first time around. He's clever with his runs and knows how to finish. I've kept an eye on him always hoping one day he would return… now he has. What a great signing.

Guy: This could be a really good signing and would hopefully allow Emery to play two strikers, taking a bit of pressure of the front line while giving a rotation option. I really hope Tammy hits the ground running and helps with the second half of the season. Welcome home Tammy!

Paul: He is a top player who has scored goals wherever he has played. He is hungry to win with us and Unai will make him the best he can be.
