Trezeguet has revealed how his Egypt international teammate Ahmed Elmohamady played a role in his decision to sign for Aston Villa.
The 24-year-old forward penned a deal with the newly-promoted Premier League side after arriving from Turkish Super Lig club Kasimpasa.
Aware the Claret and Blue Army were interested in securing his signature, Trezeguet asked his countryman Elmohamady, who has been with Villa since 2017, questions concerning the club and the right-back was at hand to convince him on the move.
