Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has hailed the progress of defender Jores Okore following a string of impressive performances.
The Denmark international moved to Villa Park from Nordsjaelland at the beginning of last season, but his career in the Premier League got off to a miserable start.
Okore sustained an injury to his cruciate ligament in September last year and missed the remainder of 2013-14.
The 22-year-old returned to the side in the 1-1 draw with Southampton last month, and has played every minute since then earning the praise of his manager.
Jores is getting better and better. He s only 22 years old, Lambert told Villa s official website.
He is outstanding. He has come in and his first game was against Southampton after 14 months out.
Look at the way he played that night. Him and [Ciaran] Clark have been excellent. His career could go far.
