Official figures place the deal at just over €60 million, a sum that places the newcomer among Villa's costliest ever recruits. The Birmingham outfit expect the fresh face to add steel and creativity to the centre of the park, aiding their push for success on both home and continental fronts.

Upon finalising the remaining administrative steps, Manzambi will report for duty with his fellow squad members and start gearing up for the season ahead.
