Derby boss Jewell excited with Villa arrival

Derby County boss Paul Jewell is excited about the capture of former UAG Tecos striker Emanuel Villa.

"This is a very exciting capture for us," Jewell told the club's official website.

"I believe Emanuel is a striker of the highest quality. He's a player I've known about for a long time and someone I was very keen to bring here.

"I've seen him play myself and his reputation in Central America is very high.

"He's quick, good in the air, strong, and physical and he has a good record in front of goal.

"I think he's a player the Derby fans will quickly take to. His attributes give me no doubt that he'll adapt to the English game quickly."
