Aston Villa Sign Swiss World Cup Star Manzambi
- On Friday, Aston Villa announced the club-record signing of 20-year-old midfielder Johan Manzambi from Freiburg in a deal worth over £50 million, representing a significant statement of intent ahead of the new campaign.
- The 20-year-old joins Villa Park following a breakthrough campaign in Germany, where he registered 7 goals in 47 appearances and earned Europa League Young Player of the Season honors.
- Manzambi appeared destined for Newcastle United after the Magpies agreed a fee last week, but Villa moved swiftly to hijack the deal; he previously scored 3 goals for Switzerland at the FIFA World Cup.
- His arrival addresses midfield shortages as Youri Tielemans departed for Manchester United and Amadou Onana faces an ACL injury; Villa are also closing in on Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes for £38 million.
- To create budget room for further arrivals, left-back Lucas Digne is reportedly closing in on a return to Paris Saint-Germain as Villa continue their summer reshuffle.
