Fabrizio Romano reveals surprise twist as Aston Villa try to sabotage Newcastle's pursuit of highly-rated target Johan Manzambi
Aston Villa have emerged as a serious contender for the signature of highly rated midfielder Johan Manzambi, threatening to derail Newcastle United's move for the Swiss youngster. According to Fabrizio Romano, Villa are among the clubs monitoring the situation, with Newcastle still in the mix but the arrival of Villa complicating the landscape.
Newcastle had agreed on a transfer fee with SC Freiburg but are waiting for the player to agree to personal terms. However, Manzambi's delay in signing has given Aston Villa an opportunity to step in. The 20-year-old Swiss midfielder had a impressive World Cup campaign, scoring three goals and two assists in four games, making him a sought-after young midfielder in Europe.
Aston Villa's project and their recent UEFA Europa League final win over Freiburg could influence Manzambi's decision. The player's final destination is still uncertain, with the decision ultimately up to him.
