Aston Villa sign Mahmoud 'Trezeguet' Hassan from Kasimpasa
Wednesday 24 July 2019 11:19, UK
Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Mahmoud Hassan - also known as Trezeguet - for an initial fee of £8.5m from Turkish side Kasimpasa.
Sky Sports News reported last week that Villa had agreed a deal for the 24-year-old and it is thought the price could increase significantly depending on how he performs.
The Egyptian international, who made four appearances in his country's Africa Cup of Nations campaign, is Villa's ninth summer signing.
"We're really excited to work with 'Trez'. I've watched him a number of times," Dean Smith told the club's website.
"He's the type of wide player that we have been looking for who is direct, causes problems for the opposition in the final third and scores goals."
