da aposte e ganhe: Aston Villa have signed Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Andre Moreira on a one year loan deal according to The Sun.
What’s the story?
da bet sport: The 22-year-old has been on the books at the Spanish giants since 2014 but has spent all his time out on loan and is yet to make a senior appearance for Atletico.
He was most recently at Portuguese side Belenenses where he made ten appearances since joining and the prodigy is understandably unlikely to displace Jan Oblak in goal for his parent club.
Steve Bruce also has Mark Bunn and Jed Steer to choose from but they are now without star Sam Johnstone who excelled in his loan spell at the club last season.

Unknown quantity
Moreira is something of an unknown quantity in English football unlike Bunn and Steer who have a wealth of experience in the football league.
It will be interesting to see who Bruce plumps for as his no.1 but the healthy competition can only be a good thing for the Villans.
