Soccer Extreme : American midfielder Michael Bradley is taking a physical and close to joining Premier League club Aston Villa on loan.
The 23-year-old son of U.S. coach Bob Bradley is set to join the central England club until the end of the season from Germany’s Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Bradley could then sign a permanent contract if he impresses manager Gerard Houllier.
Houllier says Bradley “is 23 and a very hardworking midfielder who can score goals.”
Villa has already signed Darren Bent, Jean Makoun and on-loan Kyle Walker during the January transfer window. (yahoo)
