Why Manzambi could be a revelation at Aston Villa

In a World Cup dominated by the biggest names, Johan Manzambi has been the exception to the rule. With more goals than starts for Switzerland, he has been a breakout star, earning his big move after one full season as a starter at Freiburg.

The 20-year-old talent rejected an offer from Newcastle United to sign for Aston Villa, Freiburg's conquerors in the Europa League final in May. A price of £49m reflects Manzambi's rapid rise, although his summer could have been even more spectacular.
