Aston Villa have won the race to sign Newcastle United right-back Habib Beye, with the Senegal international penning a three-year contract at Villa Park.

The 31-year-old has left Tyneside for an undisclosed fee, having spent two seasons with the Magpies.

Beye told his new club's official website: "I think Villa is a great football club.

"I was really happy when my agent told me Villa were interested. I just said 'get it done.' I wanted to sign for this club.

"It's going to be great working for Martin O'Neill because Villa have a great team. I am so proud now to play here.

"It was important for me to stay in the Premier League and am really happy I have with Villa.

"Newcastle are a massive club, but everybody knows the problems at the moment. I think joining Villa is a great step for me."
