Cuellar happy to join Villa

New Aston Villa signing Carlos Cuellar has revealed that he believes he is joining one of the biggest Premiership sides; and insisting that the move from Rangers is a good thing for his career.

""I'm joining a big club in the Premier League," Cuellar told the official Villa website. "This is the best league in the world and last year Villa did very well. They play very good football and had a fantastic season.

"So I am very happy to come here with the opportunity to play in the Premier League. We are also playing in Europe this season, so that will be good.

"I watched Villa last season and Martin O'Neill is a very good coach. He plays exciting attacking football and I am excited to be here.

"I follow Premier League football because at this moment I think it is the best league in the world, so it is good to play my football here.

"The football here is very offensive and the most honest in Europe. Players here are strong and it is a very difficult league.

"My ambition is to play for my country and I think with Aston Villa I will have that possibility. Every player wants to play international football and that is my aim.

"I won the Scottish Cup last season and it would be nice to win a trophy with Aston Ville here in England. We have a very good team and could get some trophies.

"The UEFA Cup run with Rangers last season was a fantastic experience, even though we lost the final. It was an amazing experience and playing in a European final was a great moment in my career. "
