Aston Villa Sign Steve Sidwell

Martin O’Neil has made his first signing of the summer with the transfer of Steve Sidwell from Chelsea. Sidwell signed for Chelsea from Reading last summer but has rarely featured for the Blues so he will be delighted with his move to Villa and the opportunity to play more regular first time football.

With Gareth Barry looking set for Liverpool, Sidwell is expected to be his replacement. It has been that long since we have all seen Sidwell in action and have kind of forgotten how good he is. In Readings memorable first season in the Premier League he was inspirational and Martin O’Neil will be hoping he can do the same for his side.
