Ahmed Elmohamady has revealed Aston Villa’s promotion to the English Premier League is his best moment so far.
After a failed attempt in the 2017-2018 season, the ex-Hull star played a key role in the Claret & Blue Army’s return to English top-flight - featuring 41 times and netting twice.
In a chat with the Villa media team on the occasion of a decade living and playing in the European country after Egypt in 2010, the defender shared his experiences on what the Championship is like and what it meant earning promotion to the Premier League.
“The Championship is a tough league and it’s not easy to get promoted from it,” Elmohamady told Villa website.
“The club spent two years in the Championship, and we reached the Play-Off Final in 2018 but we didn’t make it.
“We reached Wembley again in 2019 and we were determined to win and get promoted to the Premier League.
“We were inconsistent last season, but we were able to win the last 11 or 12 matches and finish in the Play-Off positions.
“It was one of the best days in my career. Of course, I prefer to play in the Premier League.”
