The 26-year-old completed his move to the Second City on Wednesday, reuniting with Emery – who he had worked under at Villareal.

And the Spain defender said it was the right time to make the move to the Premier League.

Torres said: “With the boss, we have had conversations in which he explained to me the project that he has here at Aston Villa, a project that attracted me.

“We had been speaking about the possibility of me coming and we thought it was the best moment for it to happen. And well, here I am.

“I’m looking forward to starting and I’m looking forward to showing my football ability.”
