Pepe Reina posts message on Twitter after joining Aston Villa

Aston Villa confirmed on Monday their second signing of the January transfer window after landing Liverpool and Spain goalkeeper Pepe Reina on loan from AC Milan for the rest of the season.

The 37-year-old World Cup winner has taken to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after completing the move. He wrote:

Very happy to sign for a great and historic team New challenge Let’s go @AVFCOfficial! #AVFC https://t.co/kRwnnLRlZF

Villa desperately needed to sign a goalkeeper this month after England international Tom Heaton was ruled out for the rest of the season.
