Robin Olsen excited by 'new adventure' at Aston Villa

Robin Olsen is happy to have signed permanently with Aston Villa.

The Sweden goalkeeper joined last week from Roma.

After spending the bulk of the last three seasons on loan with Cagliari, Everton and Sheffield United before Villa, he is looking forward to putting down some permanent roots.

Speaking while away on international duty with Sweden, he said: “It's a new adventure, so to speak. Now we know that we will stay there (at Villa) for three years.

“It's a fantastic club and incredibly nice that it's been resolved. I feel how much I've developed in just the five or six months I've been there. We started talking early about triggering the clause, but then a few other things made it take time. It's very nice it was resolved."
