Aston Villa's Antonio Luna excited by opening fixtures

New Aston Villa defender Antonio Luna has admitted that he is excited by the club's opening fixtures in the Premier League.

The Villans get their campaign underway with a trip to Arsenal before taking on Liverpool at home.

"The fact that it's two big clubs at the beginning is an extra motivation on top of the fact I am very, very keen to start the season with my new club," Luna told Villa's official website.

"Those two games add an extra point to my excitement at starting in the Premier League with Aston Villa."

Luna recently joined the club from Sevilla for an undisclosed fee.
