Aston Villa breaks club record with the arrival of Johan Manzambi from Freiburg
Aston Villa has strengthened itself with Swiss midfielder Johan Manzambi, who comes over from SC Freiburg. With a transfer fee of more than £50 million, it is the most expensive purchase in Villa's club history. The arrival of Manzambi, who impressed at the last World Cup and was named Europa League talent of the year, means a major boost in quality for the midfield of the Premier League club. The transfer comes at the right time, as Villa has lost Youri Tielemans to Manchester United and Amadou Onana has a long-term injury.
