 "Spanish striker David Villa to join former Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta at J-League club Vissel Kobe")
Tokyo: Former Spain and Barcelona striker David Villa announced on Saturday that he has signed with the J-League’s Vissel Kobe, joining his former teammate Andres Iniesta.

Reuters[/caption] Villa tweeted a video, showing his successful work with New York City FC, before receiving a phone call that took him to Japan. “Hola japon. Hola Vissel Kobe,” he said in the clip, which showed him in the J-League club’s crimson jersey. The 36-year-old forward is the latest high-profile acquisition by Vissel in the western Japanese port city of Kobe. The outfit — owned by Japanese tech billionaire Hiroshi Mikitani — acquired Iniesta earlier this year after signing former Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski in 2017.
