Aston Villa are close to sealing the signing of Nordsjaelland defender Jores Okore, according to a report.

Nordsjaelland defender Jores Okore could be close to sealing a move to Aston Villa, according to a report.

The 20-year-old was linked with a move to Chelsea during the January transfer window but opted to remain in Denmark.

However, according to the Express and Star, Okore is due to fly into Birmingham to discuss personal terms with Villa after the two clubs agreed a £4m fee.

Manager Paul Lambert sees the Danish international as an important signing as he looks to improve his defence, who failed to keep a clean sheet in the remaining six months of the season.
