Aston Villa announced the signing of goalkeeper Robin Olsen on Tuesday evening.
And a number of Villa fans were quick to give their thoughts to the club’s fourth January addition on social media.
The 32-year-old has joined Philippe Coutinho, Lucas Digne and Kerr Smith in moving to the Midlands in 2022, signing on loan until the end of the season.
Steven Gerrard was after a back-up goalkeeper this month to work alongside Emiliano Martinez and Jed Steer and has got his wish with the Sweden international.
Olsen spent the first half of the season with Championship side Sheffield United, where he made 11 appearances. However, he fell out of favour at Bramall Lane, with the Blades willing to cut his stay in Yorkshire short, with Villa now sealing a temporary move from parent club AS Roma.
Villa fans react
This is what these Villa supporters had to say in reply to the club’s official post on Olsen, with one ‘excited’ and another labelling it as ‘decent’.
“I don’t think people understand how great this signing is, allows Sinsalo to go out on loan and get first team football, also Olsen in himself is a great keeper and he’s obviously aware he’s come to be a back up and that’s a great mentality for him to do that.”
“We’ve actually broken Lange”
“Wow hope he can push for number 1 good to have 2 good gk”
“What a busy window this has been, I’m so excited about this team”
“Decent cover for Martinez, was decent for Everton last season, didn't work out for him at Sheffield United this season, will provide some mentoring to younger Villa keepers. Welcome Robin Olsen”
“Another new player in through the door”
