Aston Villa confirm return of Ashley Young with versatile star joining on a free transfer and penning a one-year deal for second spell after his Inter Milan departure

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Ashley Young, with the versatile veteran returning to the club for a second spell after leaving Inter Milan.

Young, 35, has put pen to paper on a one-year deal with the Midlands outfit, and is said to have turned down offers from a number of other Premier League clubs.
