“It’s an immense club in England. Coming from Poland, I didn’t have the foggiest idea how colossal Villa is,” Bednarek added.

“I think the fans are amazing, the field’s astonishing and besides the planning ground. I’m genuinely delighted to join this club.”

Bednarek played 153 games for Southampton during five years on the south coast, chalking up 42 worldwide covers in that time.
