# Aston Villa to complete signing of Jedinak

Aston Villa are closing in on a move for Crystal Palace midfield Mile Jedinak according to reports.

John Percy from the Telegraph has said that the Villans are closing in on the capture of the Australian international from the Premier League side.

Rumours have gathered pace recently over Roberto Di Matteo targeting a midfield enforcer to firm up his side and seemingly that search is nearly over with Jedinak set to join within the next 48 hours.

The 32 year old has been a figurehead in the Eagles side since 2011 and would be regarded as a real coup for Villa.

Some Palace fans said yesterday that they believed he had said his goodbyes after kissing the turf at Selhurst Park and throwing his shirt into the crowd at the end of his side’s 1-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.
