Johan Manzambi, the Swiss international and World Cup breakout star, is set to join Aston Villa instead of Newcastle United, who had agreed on a €60 million transfer fee with SC Freiburg. Aston Villa has now secured a deal worth nearly €70 million, as Manzambi prefers the move for sporting reasons, wanting to develop under Unai Emery and play in the Champions League. This transfer comes as Villa seeks to replace injured midfielder Amadou Onana. A medical is planned soon for the player ahead of the contract signing.
