Aston Villa’s new Australian winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brett-Holman-c8047 is looking forward to linking up with fellow Dutch league import Karim El-Ahmadi at Villa Park.
The winger has squared off against the Moroccan in the Eredivisie and is glad to have him on his side.
Aston Villa went through some major changes in the summer. Former Norwich City manager Paul Lambert was appointed as head coach and he made a number of changes to the Villa squad. El-Ahmadi and Holman are two of the three players that have arrived at Villa
Park from the Dutch league. The third signing is Dutch centre-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ron-Vlaar-c31697, who is set to join the club pending the results of a medical.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar player is glad to have joined the Premier League club, and is even happier at the prospect of playing alongside El-Ahmadi. Holman has faced the defensive midfielder during his time in the Eredivisie and is aware of his ability as a
footballer. He is glad to have him on his side this time around and was full of praise for the player while speaking to Villa’s official website.
"I've played against him quite a few times in Holland and you can see what sort of player he is if you study the footage. He played at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 and also Feyenoord. When he was at Twente he was one of the up-and-coming midfield players who was very highly
thought of and was tipped to make it big. He was the big talent.”
“He’s progressed a lot as a player and at Feyenoord he matured as a player. He never loses the ball and has fantastic technique. He’s got a typical Dutch way of thinking and is forward looking. He’s going to be exciting and Villa are lucky to have him that’s
for certain.”
El-Ahmadi joined Aston Villa on June the 26th in a £2m move from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Lambert’s eye with a series of impressive performances for the Dutch side.
