Aston Villa aim brutal dig at Wrexham and Ben Foster for comment on TikTok following Nicolo Zaniolo’s loan transfer
Aston Villa weren’t having any of Wrexham’s banter on their latest TikTok video as they took aim at Ben Foster in an unnecessary dig.
The Villans were delighted to announce their latest summer recruit — Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray on loan for the season.
The versatile Italian will add plenty of flair to Unai Emery’s forward group, and had an announcement video to match the fanfare.
Making his way around the club’s training ground, Zaniolo is captured with the backing music of Status Quo’s Rockin' All Over the World.
And just as the ‘I like it’ phase out into ‘here we go’, the 24-year-old picks up the camera and says his name, “Nicolo Zaniolo,” to complete the rhyme.
The Status Quo hit has been picked up by a number of teams, perhaps most famously Arsenal, who have changed the final lyrics to ‘Saka and Emile Smith Rowe’.
Wrexham are another to have adopted the tune, and pointed it out on Villa’s post.
“Super Ben Foster in goal?” wrote the official Wrexham account.
To which Villa rather oddly escalated things, writing: “Our keeper wins world cups, your keeper cycles to work,” accompanied by a winking emoji.
The comment was referencing the cycling goalkeeper Foster who has a popular YouTube account and podcast.
