New Aston Villa signing Kieran Richardson is looking forward to working with former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane.
Richardson joined Villa yesterday from Fulham and Keane was this week named the club's new assistant manager.
He said: "Villa Park has always been my favourite stadium out of all of the stadiums in which I've played in the Premier League.
"It's got great atmosphere, the fans are magnificent and I'm really looking forward to playing here. I know I'm going to love it."
In coming to Villa, Richardson is being reunited with the club's new assistant boss Roy Keane, who was the manager who brought him to Sunderland and was also his team-mate at United.
Richardson said: "Roy is top-drawer, outstanding as a player and excellent at man-management. He tells you how it is, which is good for players, and I'm delighted to be working with him again.
"I'm looking forward to working with the manager, too. He wants to play attacking football, he wants the team going forward and that's great. I haven't worked with him before, so I'm excited to start working with him now."
He added: "For myself, I'm happy wherever I'm playing on the pitch, whether that's left-back, left wing or centre midfield, even behind the striker.
"I'm happy to play wherever I'm needed. I've played in most positions - sometimes that can be a curse, sometimes that can be a good thing, but hopefully I can nail down a position here at the club."
Villa have also added defender Philippe Senderos and midfielder Joe Cole to their playing squad this summer.
