On yesterday evening, two teams that dropped out of the Premier League last season - "Aston Villa" and "Norwich City" - announced their new acquisitions.
"Norwich City" acquired attacking midfielder Alex Pritchard from "Tottenham Hotspur" for 8 million pounds. The 23-year-old player was plagued by injuries last season and only played three matches in the Premier League, two of which were on loan to "West Bromwich Albion".
Meanwhile, "Aston Villa" strengthened their squad with a striker. It was announced today that they bought Ross McCormack from "Fulham" for 12 million pounds. The Scottish national team player, who spent the last eight years in the Championship division, scored 21 goals in the league last season. The 29-year-old player had his best season in 2013-2014 when he scored 28 goals for "Leeds United".
