He said: “I am really excited to be joining Villa. I am proud and thrilled and can’t wait to get going now.
“Everyone can see that Aston Villa that is a big club, a fantastic club, with tradition and great supporters.
“Over the past few years Villa have made big strides and are trying to challenge at the very top of the Premier League. I am excited to be part of that and I am excited to be here.
“I want to play at the highest level and test myself in the biggest of games.
“Whether it’s on Saturday against Fulham at Villa Park or the week after, I am excited to be here and ready to get going.”
