Aston Villa Signs Chelsea Fullback Bertrand

Aston Villa have clinched the loan signing of Chelsea fullback Ryan Bertrand.

The 24-year-old has played more than 50 times for the
Blues, including in their Champions League final
victory over Bayern Munich in 2012.

Villa boss Paul Lambert said: "Ryan brings a lot of big-
game experience, not only in the Barclays Premier
League but even a Champions League final which Chelsea won, so he'll be really good for us.

"The way he plays the game and as a person, too,
he'll fit in here great and it will be good for him also
to be playing games. He has real enthusiasm for the
game and he's looking forward to playing here.

"We're grateful to Chelsea for allowing him to come here on loan and we know he'll be really good to work
with."
