Premier League outfit Aston Villa have signed goalkeeper Matija Sarkic on a three-year deal from Anderlecht.
Sarkic has come through the ranks of Anderlecht’s famed youth academy and had been turning out for the club’s Under-19 side.
Having signed a three-year contract with the Premier League club, the youngster will look to impress manager Tim Sherwood and possibly attempt to find a spot in the first team.
The 18-year-old played for Montenegro in the Under-17 European Championship in 2013 and will be part of Montenegro’s Under-21 squad for their European Championship qualifier in Moldova due to be held this Friday.
Aston Villa have added several new faces in their squad this summer which includes the likes of Idrissa Gueye, Jordan Ayew, Rudy Gestede, Adama Traore and Micah Richards amongst a host of others.
