Jonathan Kodjia is the man to take home the silver, with local lad Jack Grealish in third on seven per cent of all shirt pre-ordered.

The news is a huge sign that Villa fans are thrilled to have Terry - a 78-cap England international and five-time Premier League champion - on board.

JT spent his entire career at Chelsea, after making his debut in the 1998-99 season, going on to play 492 times in the Premier League, 717 times in all competitions.

However, he finally moved on to a new home as he linked up with the Midlands side for the 2017-18 season.

Terry recently turned out in the 0-0 draw away to Walsall and is expected to take to the field for upcoming game against Arminia Bielefield.

Villa were set to play Vitesse Arnhem - before the Dutch side called off the game due to issues with German football authorities.

Villa also play Tamworth and Watford, before getting their Championship season underway against relegated Hull on August 5.

Before all that though, they've got the Cup of Traditions to compete in - a mini-competition at Schauinsland Reisen Arena, in Duisburg, Germany.

The Championship side will play two 45-minute matches against other clubs in the competition - which could be La Liga side Malaga or even Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin.
