Aston Villa close to loan deal for USA midfielder Michael Bradley

? Bradley expected to undergo medical today
?Stephen Ireland close to Newcastle move

Aston Villa remain confident they will sign the Borussia M�nchengladbach midfielder Michael Bradley on loan for the remainder of the season.

The United States international is due to have a medical today, with a view to completing the temporary switch before the transfer window closes tomorrow.

Bradley is the son of the USA head coach Bob Bradley and was part of their World Cup squad in South Africa last summer.

The Villa manager G�rard Houllier would only say: "I don't want to say anything about it, maybe in two days' time."

But club sources are optimistic the 23-year-old will become Houllier's fourth signing of this month, after Darren Bent, Jean Makoun and the on-loan full-back Kyle Walker.

Bradley played for the MetroStars and New Jersey in the MLS and then had a spell with Heerenveen before moving to the Bundesliga two-and-a-half years ago.

Stephen Ireland, currently sidelined with a knee injury, is believed to be a close to a move to Newcastle United.
