More firepower for Emery as Aston Villa complete another top signing

Aston Villa respond to 5-1 thrashing to Newcastle by completing another summer signing.

Italian international Nicolo Zaniolo has completed his return to the European top flight with a move to Aston Villa in the Premier League from Galatasaray.

Zaniolo only recently joined the Turkish giants in the last transfer window after an acrimonious saga with his previous club, Roma.

The young attacker's relationship with the club broke down, but an agreement could not be reached with potential suitors, leaving him stranded following the closure of the European transfer window.

However, with the Turkey Super Lig window extending beyond the regular European window, both parties capitalised, leading to a move to the region. 

Zaniolo completes Premier League move

The Birmingham club announced via their official channels today that the Italy international has signed for their club and will be donning the number 22 jersey. 

Zaniolo is another top acquisition the Villaians have made in the window, showing their ambitions. They have already completed moves for Pau Torres from Villareal, Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen, and Youri Tielemans from Leicester. 

During this unveiling, the new signing had this to say: "Aston Villa is one of the best teams in England and in the Premier League. I want to play and show my quality."
