Adomah, 30, has hit 10 league goals in 19 appearances for Villa, who currently sit fifth in the Championship table, but he is disappointed by his failure to create chances for his team-mates. 

“I think I’ve done well scoring for the team but, at the same time, I haven’t achieved one of my targets – assisting goals,” he said. 

“People say that I’m scoring so that can only be a good thing but my main target is to assist because I’m a creative winger and I’m still looking to do that more frequently.

“My target is ten assists and I’ve only got one so far. 

“I’ve reached the target of ten goals but I’ve still got a long way to go to hit my assists target.”

Aston Villa transfer news tracker: Who could Steve Bruce sign in January window?

Villa boss Steve Bruce has been delighted with Adomah’s goalscoring form and last month challenged the 30-year-old to reach 20 goals for the season.

“He’s had a wonderful return, as I’ve said now for the past few weeks,” Bruce said. 

“At the start, because of the form of Andre Green, he wasn’t in the team, so it just shows you. He’s worked hard and he’s got his reward. 

“Playing on the left he looks so comfortable coming in on his right foot and running across the line. He’s a threat and that’s 11 goals he’s got which is a wonderful return. 

“Long may it continue and there’s no reason now why he can’t set his sights to go and get another 10 at this part of the season.”
