Saturday 30th July 2011, 11:27AM BST.
Charles N’Zogbia today admitted signing for Villa is a “big step” after he completed the terms of his £9.5m transfer from Wigan.
The 25-year-old winger signed a five-year contract, worth a reputed £60,000 a week, which will keep him at Villa Park until 2016 and became manager Alex McLeish’s second major signing after keeper Shay Given joined from Manchester City for £3.5m.
“I am really happy and extremely excited to sign for Villa,” said N’Zogbia.
“It is a great club and it is a really big step for me in my career, so I am sure I will enjoy my football here.
“I think it is going to be a really good season and hopefully I’ll do well here.
“I can’t wait to meet my new team-mates, play with them and work together to do something special this season.
“Alex McLeish is a strong manager and I think he is going to build a really good team for this season.”
