Aston Villa have announced that Aly Cissokho has completed his move to the club from Valencia.

The defender, who spent last season on loan with Liverpool, has signed a four-year contract with the Villans following a medical with the side earlier today.

According to Sky Sports News, the Premier League club have paid between £2m and £3m for the 26-year-old, who still had two years left on his contract with the La Liga outfit.

Cissokho featured in 15 Premier League matches for Brendan Rodgers's side last season.
