Aston Villa have completed deadline-day deals for Scotland full-back Alan Hutton and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas, both from Tottenham.
Former Rangers defender Hutton 26, has agreed a permanent move to Villa park, signing a contract through to 2015 while Jenas has joined on loan for the rest of the season.
A statement on Villa’s official website from manager Alex McLeish said: “Alan is a player whom I know well. He is an athletic full-back in his mid-20s – a very good age – and he has a lot of experience playing at a high level, both internationally with Scotland and with Rangers and Tottenham which are big clubs.
“So he fits the bill in terms of having the right temperament to be an important and influential player for Villa.
“Jermaine is a dynamic midfield player and I feel he will add to the quality of the squad as well. He also has played at a very high level and I’m sure he will be relishing this opportunity.”
