Nicolò Zaniolo is determined to show his quality in an Aston Villa shirt after joining the club on loan.
The Italian international completed his move from Galatasaray before laying out his ambitions in an interview with VillaTV.
Zaniolo says he’ll embrace the opportunity to perform in claret and blue.
“I’m very happy to be here,” he said.
“When Monchi called me, I couldn’t wait to be here and to play my first minutes in this shirt for this amazing club.”
Zaniolo continued: “Aston Villa is one of the best teams in England and in the Premier League. I want to play and show my quality.
“Unai Emery is one of the greatest coaches in the world. And for me, this is a big occasion to show my quality.
“For the team, it’s a chance to do big things.”
The 24-year-old arrives at Villa Park with great pedigree, having helped Roma win the Europa Conference League during over 120 appearances for the Serie A side.
He also won silverware last season, lifting the Süper Lig title with Galatasaray after bagging five goals in 10 games.
And now Zaniolo is ready to fulfil a childhood dream of playing in the Premier League.
He said: “The Premier League is the most important championship in the world.
“It was my dream when I was young that one day I would play in the Premier League.
“Now I’m here and I can’t wait to play.”
