Villa complete Cuellar deal

RangersAston Villa have completed the £7.8million signing of Carlos Cuellar who has penned a four-year deal at Villa Park.

The Spanish central defender agreed terms and passed a medical on Tuesday after Villa had agreed a fee with Rangers, and now the player cannot wait to get started.

"I'm joining a big club in the Premier League," Cuellar told the club's website. "This is the best league in the world and last year Villa did very well. They play very good football and had a fantastic season.

"So I am very happy to come here with the opportunity to play in the Premier League. We are also playing in Europe this season, so that will be good.

"I watched Villa last season and Martin O'Neill is a very good coach. He plays exciting attacking football and I am excited to be here.

"My ambition is to play for my country and I think with Aston Villa I will have that possibility. Every player wants to play international football and that is my aim."
