Aston Villa unveiled their club-record signing on Tuesday evening.
Wesley Moraes has promised Aston Villa fans that they’ll see ‘a lot of quality’ from him in the Premier League.
The Brazilian striker has finally been unveiled as an Aston Villa player after the West Midlands side announced a couple of weeks ago that a club-record £22 million had been spent on him.
With such a price-tag comes the great responsibility to score goals, but the 22-year-old has told the club’s official website that he’s optimistic about reaching expectations.
He told the club’s website: “You’re going to see a lot of power and a lot of quality. I’m really happy to have the chance to play in the Premier League and I’m hoping to play well and score lots of goals.
“I hope to help Aston Villa as best as I can.”
The towering striker, who stands at 6’3, has even more pressure because he is effectively Tammy Abraham’s replacement. The Chelsea-owned striker has returned to his parent club after helping Dean Smith’s side to Premier League promotion last season, scoring 25 Championship goals.
They couldn’t have gone up without him and therefore Villa fans adore Abraham, but the fanbase will love these comments from Wesley.
He is spoken like a man confident in his own ability – now he just has to back it up.
