That is according to former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

Villa stumped up the cash to Forest, paying £14 million for the full back.

Cash has been ever present for Villa this term.

"Matty Cash has been outstanding. He was a player that Leeds looked at as well," Robinson told Football Insider.

"Cash has done brilliantly since he has come in and it was yet another start for him at the weekend.

"I have been really impressed with him, he has done very well. Coming into a Villa team that has been playing well will have helped him."
