  "account": "Aston Villa has signed Senegal winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris St-Germain for a reported £47 million (US$63 million). The 18-year-old played 31 times for PSG last season as the French club claimed the Champions League and Ligue 1 titles. Mbaye also made four appearances for Senegal at the recent World Cup, scoring against France and becoming the youngest African player to score in a men's World Cup match. He has represented Senegal 15 times since making his PSG debut at age 16. Villa expressed delight at announcing the signing of the bright and exciting young prospect, who joins on a permanent basis. The signing follows a period of turmoil for Aston Villa, who have sold several key players since winning the Europa League last season and ending a 30-year trophy drought.",
  "summary": "France-born Ibrahim Mbaye is the latest new recruit for Aston Villa after a close season of upheaval at the Premier League club.",
