With the transfer market in full swing, find out here who Aston Villa have brought in and who has been shown the exit door. Aston Villa's latest transfer news.

In: Patrik Berger (midfielder)
Signed from Portsmouth on a free transfer after he rejected a new contact from
the south coast club. Brings in much-needed experience and is the perfect
replacement for the outgoing Thomas Hitzlsperger.

Aaron Hughes (defender)
Signed in a £1.5m deal from Premiership rivals Newcastle United. Will bolster
up the defence and provide much needed competition at the back.

Stuart Taylor (goalkeeper)
Signed for £1m from Arsenal. Will push Sorenson for the number 1 jersey.

Kevin Phillips (striker)
Comes in from Championship outfit Southampton. Will provide competition for
Vassell and Angel and may be a contender for Villa's top scorer of the season.

Milan Baros (striker)
Bought from Liverpool for £6.5m and is sure to be a favourite with the Villa
faithful. Will provide much-needed competition upfront and is capable of
hitting 20+ goals per season.
