Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of midfielder Aaron Tshibola from Reading for an undisclosed fee.
Tshibola, 21, has joined the Championship club on a four-year deal and flown straight out to Austria to team up with Roberto Di Matteo's squad on their preseason training camp.
"I am very happy that Aaron has joined," Di Matteo said.
"He's a highly-rated and well respected young player who will provide us with plenty of energy, courage and determination in the middle of the park.
