Influential Aston Villa skipper Stiliyan Petrov has hailed the club’s transfer target Charles N’Zogbia, who is on the verge of joining the Villans.
N’Zogbia has been a prime transfer target of the Villans in the ongoing summer and it was officially confirmed that Aston Villa have agreed a £9.5 million transfer fee with Wigan Athletic for the French winger.
Petrov reckons that N’Zogbia will be a huge signing for the Villans, who are going to start their next season without two of their former best players: Ashley Young and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stewart-Downing-c34221.
The Villans skipper hailed N’Zogbia’s extraordinary improvement in the last couple of seasons and is confident that the French international will be able to replicate his form at Aston Villa next season.
Petrov told Aston Villa’s official website, “He's a player who has improved so much in the last couple of seasons and we would be glad to have him in our team.”
The skipper believes that the Wigan Athletic winger is one of the best and most attacking wide players in the Barclays Premier League. Petrov hopes Aston Villa sign N’Zogbia as soon as possible.
“He brings something special. He's an explosive player. We hope the deal goes through,” added the Bulgarian midfielder.
N'Zogbia played a huge role in Wigan Athletic’s survival battle last season as the Frenchman scored a few crucial goals in the last six matches to secure a spot in the Barclays Premier League. The Frenchman was also a standout performer against Aston Villa
last season, when he scored a goal to gain a point for the Latics.
Petrov has admitted that he always found N’Zogbia a difficult opponent to face and has stated that the Frenchman tore Aston Villa apart in their last meeting.
“He's been very difficult for us to play against. Every time he's faced us he's torn us apart. We've been finding him very dangerous to play against,” the Bulgarian midfielder stated.
The Villans skipper feels N’Zogbia would be the best signing for Aston Villa in the current summers. Petrov believes it will be a huge achievement for the Villans if they manage to sign the Frenchman as a number of Premier League clubs are after his signature.
“He would be an exciting signing for us. I think he's a man that a lot of big clubs have been chasing,” added the Villans captain.
Petrov is hopeful that Aston Villa would be able to lure N’Zogbia from Wigan Athletic as the club now only have to agree personal terms with the Frenchman. The skipper asserted that he will be very pleased with the arrival of N’Zogbia.
“I hope we'll be able to land him. I would be very happy with the signing,” Petrov concluded.
Charles N’Zogbia is likely to complete his imminent move to Aston Villa in the next few days.
