Cape Town - Aston Villa have made their 12th signing of the season with the acquisition of goalkeeper Tom Heaton from Burnley for £8 million.
The 33-year-old moves to Villa Park for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £8million, and becomes the club’s 12th new signing since they won promotion back to the Premier League in May.
“I am delighted that Tom is joining Aston Villa,” boss Dean Smith told the club website. "He’s done fantastically well for Burnley over the past few years and his experience and knowledge of the Premier League will be a major asset to us this season."
