Villa agree deal to sign international defender

Aston Villa have agreed to sign free agent defender Vegard Forren, according to a report from Eurosport Norway.

Whilst the player and his agent are yet to confirm the move, we believe that a deal is done and will be announced in the coming days.

Forren was linked with a move to Villa earlier this year when he became a free agent for the first time, but he chose to join Brighton.

However, he failed to make an impact at the Seagulls and was released at the end of the season.

Steve Bruce is reportedly a fan of the 29-year-old and it looks like he’ll soon be added to the squad.

The experienced defender has earned 33 caps for Norway so far and he’ll be hoping to earn more as a Villa player.
