Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has praised summer arrival Nicolo Zaniolo.

The attacking midfielder, who has often flattered to deceive in his career, is enjoying life at Villa Park so far.

Zaniolo and his teammates notched an impressive 6-1 win over Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Post-game, Emery told reporters: "Zaniolo as a person is very easy to talk with him, to work with him. His behavior and commitment with us from the first day was very good. His adaptation is going very well, and then he is playing well.

"He was playing more on the right, but now we needed him playing left side, he was available and he was really, really feeling good as well playing and helping there.

“I am going to use him in different positions and I am really happy with him."
