Aston Villa are finalising the £2.8million signing of goalkeeper Robin Olsen from AS Roma after his loan last season.

Olsen cut his loan spell short at Sheffield United to join Steven Gerrard's side on a temporary basis in the second half of the 2021-2022 campaign.

Olsen only made one Premier League for Villa during his loan spell but provided ample back up for first choice shot-stopper Emiliano Martinez.
