Aston Villa have officially completed a deal for full back Antonio Luna. The Spaniard has joined the Villans from Sevilla and signed a four year contract. The 22-year-old is very highly rated in his homeland and is seen as a major coup for Paul Lambert's team.
"I've always believed that I could play in the Premier League and to have this opportunity with a club as historic and huge as Aston Villa and with a manager (Paul Lambert) who is building a squad of young players with great prospects is tremendously exciting for me.<br />
Luna becomes the fifth signing for Villa alongside Nicklas Helenius, Jores Okore, Leandro Bacuna and Aleksandar Tonev.<br />
Luna said: "I really can't wait to get started and to play my first game. I have a great expectation coming here.<br />
"The manager explained to me that it is a young squad but also one with good experience and everyone is hungry, everybody wants to succeed here.<br />
"This is perfect because I am keen to make progress myself and I want to be part of this.<br />
"Obviously, I have watched Premier League games and I am totally aware of the pace of the game and that the challenge is to constantly be at the maximum and top of your performance.<br />
"There have been many good and great players from Spain who have come here and succeeded and I know I can adapt my game also.<br />
"The quality of football in La Liga is also respected everywhere and this is why I believe I can do well in the Premier League."
