Axel Tuanzebe will play for Napoli until the end of the season after the Italians reached an agreement with Man Utd for the promising English defender.

Napoli announced that they have signed Axel Tuanzebe on loan from Man Utd until 30th June 2022.

Tuanzebe came through the youth system at Man Utd and he made his Premier League debut with the Red Devils in the 2016-17 season.

In 2018, he went on loan to Aston Villa. Then, he returned to Manchester for two seasons until going on loan to Aston Villa again in 2021.

Tuanzebe has made 28 appearances in the Premier League and he is the youngest Aston Villa to make at least nine appearances this season. If you include the Premier League 2, Tuanzebe has made a total of 84 appearances.

The defender, born in Congo, and now a naturalised Englishman, was also selected for England's Under 17, Under 19 and Under 21 teams.
