World Cup breakout star Manzambi joins Aston Villa

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP);
World Cup breakout star Johan Manzambi joined Champions League-bound Aston Villa yesterday in a record transfer deal for a Swiss player.
Manzambi had an offer to join Newcastle, but a viral clip after Switzerland’s quarterfinal loss last Saturday in Kansas City showed the 20-year-old midfielder replying yes to Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez’s question if his now-teammate was going to Villa instead.
