Villa target £10 million Portuguese star

According to today's News of the World, Aston Villa are planning a £10 million bid for Valencia defender Miguel.

The Portuguese international may be the subject of a £10 million bid from Villa boss Martin O'Neill.

Miguel has made over 40 appearances for his national team since making his international debut back in 2003. He has made over 60 appearances for Valencia since joining the club back in 2005 from Benfica.

I am really excited by the prospect of Miguel coming to the Premier League because he is a quality player. He was linked with a move to both Chelsea and Liverpool last summer and is widely regarded as one of La Liga's top defenders. His preferred position is right-back but he can also do a job in right-mid as well.
