Villa swoop for Bakke

Aston Villa have swooped to sign Leeds midfielder Erik Bakke on a loan deal that will keep him at Villa Park until January 31st. Villa boss David O'Leary knows all about Bakke from his time as Leeds manager and is hoping Bakke, who is only back from injury, can stay injury free for the length of the loan deal.



The 27-year-old is the third new arrival at Villa in the last week following the captures of Milan Baros and Wilfred Bouma. The Norwegian international has seen his career blighted by a series of problems in the last two years.

This is a good deal for Villa because they aren't paying anything for a very decent player but this player is very injury pron. Bakke is a very good player and if he stays injury free and has a good loan spell at Villa you never know he may just earn himself a permanent deal at Villa Park.
