Villa agree Sidwell fee

Midfielder set to leave Chelsea for £5.5million

Aston Villa have agreed a £5.5million deal for Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell.


The former Reading star only moved to Stamford Bridge last summer on a free transfer, but he was unable to force a regular place in Chelsea's first XI.

And after only seven Premier League starts for the Blues, Sidwell has been offered a move to Villa Park.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill is keen to bolster his small squad as he attempts to build a side capable of a top-six Premier League finish next season.

But, Sidwell, 25, could also be viewed as a possible replacement for Villa captain Gareth Barry, who is a transfer target of Liverpool.

Well we made money so I'm pleased. It is about time he got his career kick started again...was never really going to break into the first team. Was only brought in because he was free and jose couldn't buy anyone else.

Does this mean tho that Barry is going to Liverpool??

Rekn he always was,just a matter of how long and how much.Barry could never turn down a move like this and once a player wants to go thats it no matter what the club his with wants.Same thing happened with essien
