Experienced Icelandic Midfielder Delighted To Be At Villa

So, the Villa have announced two signings: 100% & 100% Two New Aston Villa Signings Done.

Hot on the heals of the quotes from James Bree after signing , we have 28-year-old Birkir Bjarnason.

I`m not so happy about this signing. Nothing against him, but I`m getting a bit thick in my old age and I`ll have to work harder at remembering how to spell his name!!

The midfielder, who I don`t believe any of the press had linked us to, has signed from FC Basel for an undisclosed fee.

He was part of the Iceland team that beat England!

He`s signed a 3 1/2 year deal. He certainly has experience, the official site point out he has played for Viking, Standard Liege, Pescara and Sampdoria.

And the standard quotes, he`s delighted to have joined Aston Villa and “It`s a very big club. I am now looking forward to getting out on to the pitch and helping the team.”

Welcome and good luck Birkir.
