Aston Villa to sign Anwar El Ghazi – fans react on Twitter
According to reports from The Guardian, Aston Villa are all set to complete the signing of Anwar El Ghazi within the next 24 hours.
The Lille winger joined Villa last season on loan and impressed heavily.
He became an important player towards the end under Dean Smith and now Villa have triggered the option to sign him permanently for a fee of £8m.
The 24-year-old scored six goals for Villa last season and played a crucial role in helping the club return to the Premier League.
He scored the first goal in Villa’s 2-1 win against Derby in the Championship final.
El Ghazi expressed his desire to continue playing for Villa in the Premier League and it seems his wishes are going to be fulfilled.
