# Aston Villa: Fans react to Finn Azaz signing

**Aston Villa [completed](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1419727744464822278) the signing of midfielder Finn Azaz from rivals West Brom on Monday evening.**

And, as to be expected, a number of Villa fans shared their thoughts at the news on social media.

Azaz spent last season on loan at [Cheltenham Town](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/finn-azaz/leistungsdaten/spieler/480723/plus/0?saison=2020), helping them win the League Two title with [37](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/finn-azaz/leistungsdaten/spieler/480723/plus/0?saison=2020) fourth-tier appearances.

The 20-year-old scored [three times and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/finn-azaz/leistungsdaten/spieler/480723/plus/0?saison=2020) in all competitions for The Robins and Villa have already sorted out where the central midfielder will be plying his trade for the upcoming campaign.

Villa [confirmed](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1419727744464822278) the signing of Azaz and announced he has immediately headed out on loan to League Two side Newport County.

Adam Henshall and Mile Jedinak will [track](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/july/Azaz-joins-Villa-and-seals-Newport-loan/) Azaz’s development in Wales, with Villa academy manager [Mark Harrison](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2021/july/Azaz-joins-Villa-and-seals-Newport-loan/) describing Azaz as a ‘clever’ and ‘creative’ player.

**“No offence at all to Finn but, this is a confusing signing. 20 years old. Where does he fit in? We were told the U23s are to be filled with top 18-19 year olds.”**

**“Where exactly does he fit in? 20 years old and going out on loan to a league 2 team isn’t exactly exciting. Could be wrong tho”**

**“He’ll never make a 1st appearance so I just don’t get this signing. 20 years of age & his level is League 2….”**
