English Premier League side Aston Villa signed Senegalese international defender Habib Beye from relegated Newcastle on Friday on a three-year deal, the Premier League club confirmed.
The 31-year-old had appeared to be on the brink of joining Hull City on Thursday before Villa boss Martin O’Neill made his move.
Beye, who spent four years with Marseille before joining Newcastle in 2007, is Villa’s third major signing of the summer, following Stewart Downing from Middlesbrough and Fabian Delph, who was tempted away from Leeds.
