Villa linked with Angelo Ogbonna

Tuttosport are reporting that Angelo Ogbonna is on his way out of Juventus, with a Villa Park a possible destination.

Bologna and Southamption are also thought be in the running for the defender after he failed to make the expected impact at Juve.

Recently David Gold tweeted "I am delighted to announce the signing of 23-year-old midfielder Pedro Obiang from Sampdoria. Pedro, welcome", while adding a picture of  Angelo Ogbonna.

Ogbonna was used mainly as injury cover last term and will be looking for regular first team football at his next club.

A major downside if we do sign the player will be people who insist on chanting "Oggie, Oggie, Oggie" at every available opportunity.

We can't see this one coming off but then we never thought we'd sign Antonio Luna so what do we know?
