Aston Villa have completed the signing of James Chester from West Brom for an undisclosed fee.
The defender has penned a four-year deal at Villa Park after just one season at The Hawthorns.
Villa are rebuilding following their relegation from the Premier League but have lost their opening two games this season.
Wales defender Chester fills the gap left by Ciaran Clark, who joined Newcastle for £5million, with Joleon Lescott unlikely to have a future under Roberto Di Matteo.
Di Matteo confirmed Villa were closing in on the 27-year-old and the Italian has now made him his fifth signing of the summer.
