Aston Villa will announce their sixth signing of the summer on Tuesday night, club owner Dr Tony Xia has confirmed.
The Midlands side have been prolific in the transfer market under new owner Xia as they look to bounce back to the Premier League at the earliest opportunity and have already brought in Ross McCormack, James Chester, Pierluigi Gollini, Tommy Elphick and Aaron Tshibola for a combined £32m.
Asked by a Villa fan on Twitter if more arrivals are imminent, Xia replied on Monday: "As we can't complete all paper works before tomorrow,we'll announce after tomorrow's game! Hope all u will be happy!"
In recent days Villa have been linked with Crystal Palace midfielder Mile Jedinak, Cardiff City's Aron Gunnarsson and Chelsea forward Patrick Bamford.
Villa welcome unbeaten Huddersfield Town to Birmingham on Tuesday night as they look to make it back-to-back wins in the Championship.
