Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Pepe Reina on loan from AC Milan for the rest of the season, according to reports. Reina emerged as a No 1 target for the Midlands club this month after they received a positive response once enquiring about his availability. The former Liverpool shot-stopper has played only once for Milan this campaign, operating as a back-up for the highly-rated Gianluigi Donnarumma. Reports suggested that the deal may take some time to get over the line with AC Milan ideally wanting to find a replacement for Reina before letting him go. But Sky Sports News have now stated that a deal has been struck and Reina will undergo a medical at Bodymoor Heath on Monday.
