Boateng to Aston Villa?

Kevin Prince Boateng could be on the verge of a shock move from Tottenham to Aston Villa as Spurs have agreed terms for the sale of the attacking midfielder. The player has become disillusioned at Spurs with his lack of first-team football.

Martin O'Neill is looking to shore up his squad with only a shrot time to go before the winter transfer window closes.

Juande Ramos has had a busy week at White Hart Lane as Jonathan Woodgate and Alan Hutton have arrived, while Wayne Routledge is about to also join Villa.

Boateng only moved to Tottenham last summer from Hertha Berlin as the north London beat Sevilla dn Newcastle United to his signature.
