Villa Complete Club Record Manzambi Signing Aston Villa has broken its own transfer record with the £50m signing of Johan Manzambi from Freiburg.
This significant investment eclipses the previous benchmark set by Amadou Onana's purchase two years ago and is part of a broader strategy to bolster the club's midfield ranks, following Youri Tielemans' departure and Onana's long term injury absence.
Manzambi, who scored three goals for Switzerland at the World Cup, brings much needed creativity and flair to Villa's squad.
