# Jose Angel Crespo signs for Villa

[Jose Angel Crespo has signed for Aston Villa on a 3 year deal – making him Tim Sherwood’s 7th signing of the summer.](https://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~4894417,00.html)

Crespo has joined from La Liga side Cordoba for an undisclosed fee after completing a medical at Bodymoor Heath today.

Tim Sherwood speaking to avfc.co.uk told of how Crespo is a player “on our radar for sometime” and how his experience will help the side progress.

Crespo has played for several different teams throughout the La Liga and Serie A including Sevilla and Bologna.

The 28 year old also played for the Spanish u21’s during his senior career.

Jose follows a continental contingency through the doors at Bodymoor Heath this summer, with the likes of Idrissa Gueye and Jordan Ayew joining Villa this summer.

Crespo can play all across the defence – but predominantly plays as a full back.

Crespo is joined by fellow Spaniard Carles Gil at Villa Park this season, and it seems AVTV is ready to bring the two players together.
