Aston Villa fans react as Aaron Tshibola joins Waasland Beveren

Aaron Tshibola’s Aston Villa career did not go as planned and he was one player who was never likely to play any part in their return to the Premier League.

The close of the English transfer window came and went without him securing a move to a domestic side, but he has now made a switch to Belgium.

Belgian outfit Waasland Beveren confirmed on their official website that the former Reading midfielder has joined them on a three-year deal.

He is still only 24 so has plenty of time to rebuild his career and show once more the obvious talent that convinced Villa to sign him in the first place.

He was so far off the landscape at Villa that it’s almost surprising that their fans remembered who he was when the move was confirmed.

Some of them were quick to criticise the player for the way his time in the Midlands didn’t work out but others wanted to wish him well and saw a young man who just made the wrong move at the wrong time.

Either way, his Villa nightmare is now over and it’s better for all parties that they can just move on.
