Aston Villa signing Ezri Konsa is eager to start learning from Chelsea legend John Terry.

Promoted Villa took their summer spending to £80million yesterday with the capture of centre-back Konsa from Brentford for £12m.

Konsa, 21, said: “I can't wait to get started with Dean again and especially John Terry. Me and Dean had a good relationship.

“And also you have a legend here who used to be a centre-back in John Terry , I think it will help me a lot.

“It is a dream come true, as a little kid I always used to dream about playing in the Premier League.

“It is a privilege and challenge I look forward to very much."
