New Villa defender Luna excited by Premiership challenge

Antonio Luna is thrilled about the challenge of adapting to life in the Premier League with his new club Aston Villa. The 22-year-old moved to the Birmingham club in June on a three-year deal and is one of six summer signings by manager Paul Lambert.

Luna told the club's website: "Football here in England is very quick, very rapid. It's a complicated league.

"For my own view, regarding my skills, it's great that this league is fast. I still need to adapt to things, of course, and feel I am all the time, but I believe it's good for me as I feel I have the characteristics to play here.

"I think I have good athletic abilities - I am quick as a player and that is important in a division like the Premier League.

"It's one of the best leagues in the world and I can't wait for the season to begin. It is close now and I am really excited about that. I can't wait because it's a new experience for me."
