Aston Villa star Ben Chrisene praises Kilmarnock's ambition as he pens loan deal

Kilmarnock have penned a season-long loan deal for a highly rated English Premier League star.

Ben Chrisene joins on loan from Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa, and after training this morning he goes straight into contention to play on Saturday against Motherwell.

The 18-year-old left back, who will don No 33, told the club's website: “I’m buzzing to be fair, It’s exciting for me and for the club as well I hope, on a personal note it’s good for me to play every week and the club has such a high ambition and pushing for top six is what everyone wants, hopefully I can help.

"I’m a left back, see myself as a dynamic player if the gaffer needs me to adapt, I’m very powerful, good on the ball and can defend.

"It’s exciting coming to Scotland, not many people get to experience Scottish football, I’ve been told all about it and the competitiveness and the skill within it, which not everyone knows about.

"I’m really looking forward to Saturday.”
