Ashley Young will be "running" the dressing room at Aston Villa, his former England team-mate Ben Foster has claimed.

The English fullback has returned to Villa Park after 10 years away from the club, having enjoyed successful spells with Manchester United and Inter Milan.

"They have had a very, very good window," said Watford goalkeeper Foster on his YouTube channel. "The players they have got in have been very, very good business.

"Ashley Young, experienced, he's the kind of player that will offer you so much on the pitch because he's still a player and he is still a baller.

"But, in the dressing room, just keeping the standards high, day in and day out. He will be that guy. He will be running things

"He will be the chairman. He will be making sure that the ship is running tight, and players like him are worth their weight in gold, honestly a brilliant, brilliant signing."
