Premier League will transform Tanzania captain Samatta – Ndayiragije

Tanzania coach Etienne Ndayiragije has stated the decision by striker Mbwana Samatta to sign for Aston Villa will improve his career.

The Taifa Stars captain signed for the Villains during the January transfer window from KRC Genk in Belgium and has already made his impact felt after he scored on debut in a 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth.

Samatta, who became the first Tanzania player to feature in the Premier League, is also set to make history when his side plays against Manchester City in the final of the Carabao Cup on March 1.
