Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill is said to be close to completing the
signing of Justin Hoyte from Arsenal and Steve Sidwell from Chelsea,
according to The News Of The World.
The English tabloid this morning claimed that Martin O’Neill is on the verge
of finalising a deal that would bring Justin Hoyte from the Emirates to Villa
Park for a fee in the region of 4.5 million pounds.
O’Neill tried to sign the 23 year old full-back last summer but could not
reach an agreement with Arsené Wenger over the player’s valuation. Hoyte
would be seen as a replacement for the Juventus-bound Olof Mellberg.
Meanwhile, it is thought that agreement has already been reached between
Aston Villa and Chelsea to bring Steve Sidwell to the Birmingham club.
Sidwell made only one appearance in the league for Avram Grant’s side since
January, and is seen as surplus to requirements in a midfield that is stocked
with Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, Michael Ballack, Mikel John Obi and
Claude Makekele.
A fee in the region of 7 million pounds is thought to be the price of taking
the ex-Reading man away from Stamford Bridge. Whether Sidwell will be
acquired as a potential replacement for Liverpool target Gareth Barry remains
to be seen.
