Yacouba Sylla: Premier League is "another world"

Aston Villa midfielder Yacouba Sylla describes the Premier League as "another world" and says that the division is the best in the world.

Aston Villa midfielder Yacouba Sylla has described playing in the Premier League as "another world".

The Malian international, who moved to Villa in the January transfer window, claimed that the transition from playing in France has been a huge adjustment and that the style of play in the league makes it the finest in world football.

"It's another world really," Sylla told Sky Sports News.

"It's a huge transition going from France to the Premier League. It is a lot more attacking minded. It is basically 90 minutes of attacking football and England gives you the freedom to attack and you are asked to do that. That is what makes the league the best in the world.

"In terms of the fans, they are really fanatical. The Aston Villa fans always get behind their team."

Villa were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
