DONE DEAL: Aston Villa sign Kasimpasa winger Trezeguet

Aston Villa have made Egypt international winger Trezeguet their ninth summer signing in an £8.75m deal.

The 24-year-old, who made four appearances and scored one goal at this summer's Africa Cup of Nations, signs from Turkish club Kasimpasa.

He started his career with Egyptian side Al Ahly before moving to Anderlecht in 2015, joining Kasimpasa two years later.

"We're really excited to work with 'Trez'," said Villa boss Dean Smith.

"I've watched him a number of times. He's the type of wide player that we have been looking for who is direct, causes problems for the opposition in the final third and scores goals."
