Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill has admitted he is delighted with the signing of Stewart Downing from Middlesbrough.
Villa paid an initial £10million, with a further £2million due dependent on appearances, and O’Neill believes Downing will prove to be a ‘bargain’.
“£10m is a bargain,” he told the Sunday Mirror. “It’s great value and he’s a superb acquisition.”
“He’s got pace, although he admits he could add a few more goals to his game. I’m delighted to have him.
“He’s had a nasty injury and won’t be available for a considerable time, but he’ll be sensational when he is.”
