Guzan to Villa in summer

Aston Villa are set to sign American international goalkeeper Brad Guzan in the summer after their initial offer for the Chivas USA starlet was accepted but failed a work permit request. Martin O'Neill has revealed he will make another £2m offer for Guzan.

Villa's initial move to sign Guzan, 23, in a £2million deal last month collapsed when he failed to secure a work permit as he had not played enough international matches.

O'Neill said: "He has played matches for America and deserves to get a work permit."I'm not doing these things on a whim and our next chance to get him is in the summer."
