Aston Villa attacker Nicolo Zaniolo says former club AS Roma now belongs in the past.

Zaniolo, however, insists he's moved on from his controversial departure in February for Galatasaray.

He said, "I (now) feel great love for the fans, for my teammates, for the team, for the city and for them towards me. What I felt is a disappointment."

Zaniolo's comments refer to local police having to intervene after he clashed with Roma's ultras days before his sale.

"When there are problems like this it means that we have all done our part. But I don't want to talk about the past, now I am in the Premier and I am thinking about the future," he added.
