According to universal news source the Daily Mirror, James Milner's ?3m move to Villa will be done and dusted next week.

Milner has made no secret of his desire to play regularly for Villa and the fans have made no secret of their desire to see him here permanently.

At 20 years old, James has the potential to become a top class International player and I have no doubt he will develop so.

However, I expect this may be dependent on the sale of Mathieu Berson to Auxerre, which I know is expected to be completed any time now.

But as this is the Daily Mirror, I'd believe it when you see it.
