Aston Villa seal Swiss record move for midfielder Johan Manzambi
Aston Villa have secured Swiss midfielder Johan Manzambi on a transfer that sets a new fee high for any Swiss footballer. The 20-year-old arrives at the Premier League club after strong showings at the World Cup and in the Europa League.
Newcastle were also among the sides linked with the player. According to British media, the fee climbed past £50 million (US$67 million), which would make Manzambi Villa’s most expensive signing to date.
Manzambi found the net three times at the World Cup and earned Europa League Young Player of the Season honours before the deal was finalised.
