Aston Villa brings in Suzuki, Ruggeri
Aston Villa confirmed a double transfer swoop for Zion Suzuki and Matteo Ruggeri.
Suzuki has joined from Serie A club Parma, with Villa paying a reported £30m (€35m) for the goalkeeper, who featured for Japan at the World Cup.
Ruggeri, meanwhile, has joined from Atletico Madrid for a reported fee of £17m (€19.8m).
Villa has brought in Ruggeri as Lucas Digne's replacement, after the left-back joined Paris Saint-Germain.
Suzuki's arrival, meanwhile, could well mark the end of Emiliano Martinez's time at Villa. The Argentina international had been expected to join Juventus, but that transfer broke down.
The 23 year-old made 22 appearances for Parma last term, keeping six clean sheets and recording a goals prevented figure of -0.63.
He also created 44 chances, 17 more than any of his fellow Atleti defenders, and provided seven assists.
