The winger has already scored seven goals in just eight matches for his new side.

Last night Asensio netted twice as Villa beat Club Brugge 3-0 in the Champions League.

After the match, the former Real Madrid star spoke to TNT Sports reporter Becky Ives.

Despite having never played in England before, Asensio is already conducting interviews in English.

Ives was quick to praise the “humble” star after their interview.

She wrote on X: “He asked me afterwards if his English had been ok…..

“What a baller, but maybe more importantly want a lovely, humble human being he is! A major assets to this Villa squad!”

Asensio appeared to be thrilled with life at Villa Park.

He said: “Very happy for the victory, now we are in the quarter-final – that was the objective. Very happy for the team, for the fans and now we will continue.

“Incredible, every match we play here is top. We have to be grateful with the fans. They give great support to us and we are very happy.

“We want more, so now we will have a little break and then we will think about our upcoming objectives.

“I like to score there [Holte End]. I am very motivated and also very happy to be able to score the goal and contribute.”

Villa will play Asensio’s parent club PSG in the quarter-finals.

Due to Uefa regulations, Asensio WILL be able to play.

Uefa regulations state teams do not have “any influence whatsoever over the players that another club may (or may not) field in a match”.

Villa had the rule go against them earlier this season when on loan man Samuel Iling-Junior came on at Villa Park for Bologna in the league phase.

Amazon shoppers warned of ‘unexpected’ attacks that empty your bank account – be extra careful this month

AMAZON shoppers need to watch out for four dangerous scams that could leave you out of pocket.

They could strike at any time of year – but be on high alert with Amazon‘s Big Spring Sale potentially just days away.

Illustration of phishing scam: email with document attached to a fishing hook, laptop with login screen, and warning sign.

Amazon shoppers have been warned to watch out for four worrying scams[/caption]

The event hasn’t been confirmed by Amazon yet, but it’s expected to kick off in late March.

Amazon says that are four “common scam trends” that its shoppers are regularly targeted by. They aim to steal your info, and often the contents of your bank account too.

Crooks often ramp up their activities around sales events, but there’s no telling when you might be targeted.

AMAZON SCAM ALERT

First on Amazon’s official list is the Order Confirmation Scam.

This is described as an “unexpected” message that mentions an authorised purchase.

“Scammers ask you to act urgently to confirm or cancel the purchase,” Amazon said.

“They may try to convince you to provide payment details, install software, or purchase gift cards.”

If you get a message like this, you should log into your Amazon account.

You’ll be able to see your genuine list of orders there.

So if the alleged order doesn’t appear on that list, you’ll know it’s a fake.

And you can always check with Amazon customer support just to be safe.

Second is the Tech Support Scam, another classic swindle.

This is where you’ll be promised tech support for an Amazon device or service – often through a fake website or message.

“Customers who land on these pages are lured to contact the scammer and fall prey to their schemes,” said Amazon.

If you need help with Amazon, you should stick to the official website and customer support.

Next is the Prime Membership Scam, which is also common around sales events.

This can take several forms, but it’s often a claim that you owe money for your membership – or that there’s a problem with it.

“Scammers try to convince you to provide payment or bank account information in order to reinstate a membership,” Amazon warned.

DON'T FALL FOR GIFT CARD SCAMS EITHER!

Amazon has some golden rules for avoiding gift card scams...

Do not pay people or businesses with gift cards.

Never use Amazon gift cards for payment outside of Amazon or its affiliates. Amazon gift cards can only be used for purchases online at Amazon.co.uk

Do not share gift cards details with someone that you don’t know or trust . Once a scammer receives a gift card claim code, they’ll most likely have spent the funds before you’ve contacted law enforcement or Amazon.

Do not use an Amazon gift card to pay for anything over the phone or email. This includes bills or services (for example, TV, utilities, legal services, taxes).

Do not use an Amazon gift card in connection with claiming lottery or prize winnings. Similarly, don’t use them on the promise of receiving a large amount of money, a guaranteed credit card, or loan.

“Amazon will never ask you to provide payment information for products or services over the phone.”

You can go to the Message Centre on Amazon’s website or app to check for authentic emails you’ve been sent.

And you can also go to Your Account > Prime to see what your membership status really is.

Lastly, there’s the Account Suspension/Deletion Scam.

This is usually an urgent warning that your Amazon account is about to disappear.

“Actions may include selecting a fraudulent link or providing information like payment details or login credentials, to ‘verify your account’,” Amazon said.

“Amazon will never ask you to disclose your password or verify sensitive personal information over the phone or on any website other than Amazon.co.uk.

“Don’t access any links or provide your information to anyone over the phone without authenticating the email or phone call.”

If you’re worried about the status of your account, just go to Amazon’s official website.

And remember: you can check your account’s Message Centre to see a list of authentic Amazon emails that you’ve been sent.

Newcastle ‘to build new 65,000-capacity stadium and include key feature that is unique to Wembley’

NEWCASTLE are reportedly set to leave St James’ Park and build a new 65,000-seater capacity stadium.

Chiefs explored the option of expanding their current 52,000-seater home, which is located in the city centre.

But the Mail claims they have now decided to move to a new location at nearby Leazes Park, with capacity set to be boosted by 13,000 seats.

Newcastle have been playing at St James’ for the last 133 years.

And they will continue to call it home while the new stadium is being built.

It’s claimed Toon chiefs will now present the UK government with plans for the Leazes arena.

But they are not expected to meet any resistance, with the ambitious project set to create hundreds of jobs while pouring money into the local economy.

Newcastle’s new stadium will apparently boast a “parkland-style approach”, making it similar to Wembley Stadium’s Wembley Way.

It is also set to have a stylish “bubble-wrap” design, similar to the one used at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena.

But it remains unclear how much the ambitious project will cost at this stage, with early predictions putting it at around £3billion.

Newcastle had explored staying at St James’ Park and expanding it to over 60,000 seats.

Yet building a brand new stadium was deemed the best way to maximise takings and income for new transfers.

A decision will soon be announced to Toon fans, who could have mixed feelings.

The club have been at St James’ Park since 1892 and it remains one of the most iconic in English football.
