New owner Tony Xia wants Aston Villa to become 'top club in Europe'

New owner Tony Xia has vowed to turn Aston Villa into "the top club in Europe'' in five years.

Xia answered fans' questions on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, and revealed he has not planned for anything beyond Championship promotion this term.

The Chinese businessman completed his Villa takeover in June, and has insisted only an immediate Premier League return will suffice this season.

Asked where he sees Villa in five years' time, Xia said: "The top club in Europe with the highest number of fans all over the world.''
