OPINION
This is a great signing for Aston Villa. After losing John Terry this summer, the club needed to strengthen the central defensive area and Axel Tuanzebe will be an excellent partner for James Chester in next seasons Championship campaign. The Manchester United defender will hope to play more than the five times he did last season, mainly due to the form of Chester and Terry, as he looks to develop his already impressive defensive talents by playing on a regular basis in a very competitive division. Expect him to impress over the coming season as Villa aim for promotion once again.
