Aston Villa finalise permanent transfer of Curtis Davies from West Brom as injured defender signs four-year deal
Aston Villa have finalised the permanent transfer of Curtis Davies from West Brom, with the defender signing a four-year deal.

The 23-year-old centre-back spent last year on loan at Villa Park but a ruptured Achilles tendon ended his season prematurely.

After confirming his transfer to the Villans Davies is immediately targeting a rematch with Premier League new-boys WBA as his comeback game.

Martin O'Neill's Villa are due to play Tony Mowbray's Baggies at the Hawthorns on September 20th.

"I think everyone knows what game I'm targeting," Davies told the club's official website. "It's a very tight thing but potentially I think I can be back for that.

"Obviously it'll be down to the gaffer and I hope the team that starts the season gets off to a flier. I'm not going to expect to walk straight back into the team for any game.

"I just need to keep progressing really.

"I can't worry about any one individual game, as much as I'd love to play that game, there's a lot more to the season - hopefully with a long European campaign coming up. I need to make sure I'm right for the whole season and not just the one game."End of story
