Aston Villa sign £6m defender Garcia

Aston Villa have signed right-back Andres Garcia from Spanish Segunda Division side Levante for a reported fee of £6m.

The 21-year-old has broken into the Levante first team and has scored three times this season.

The defender has also played on the right of midfield and is Villa’s second signing this month.

Garcia joins fellow new arrival Donyell Malen in Unai Emery’s squad following the Netherlands international forward’s move from Borussia Dortmund last week.

Villa, who are fifth in the 36-team Champions League table, face Monaco on Tuesday evening.
