Robin Olsen explains sticking with Aston Villa

Robin Olsen says he's happy at Aston Villa.

Despite acting as cover for Emi Martinez, the Sweden goalkeeper is satisfied with his role.

"Of course you want to play, but we are happy in England, the family is happy and I am happy in the club. It's probably the thing about playing time, but otherwise there's not much to complain about," he told Expressen.

"Otherwise, I would have left in January, so it is clear that it is an active choice. We've been out for a few years now, we've moved around and we have two kids to think about who are getting older too. They go to school, have friends and all that. Based on that, we have made a decision to keep them there.

"In addition to playing time, I enjoy the club very much, so to see them grow up there, go to school with their friends, that makes me happy."
