Aston Villa have completed the signing of Denmark defender Jores Okore from Nordsjaelland.

The 20-year-old, who was part of his country's Euro 2012 squad, moves to the Birmingham club on a 4-year contract.

Villa manager Paul Lambert is also close to signing Dutch Under-21 international Leandro Bacuna.

The Scotsman is continuing his policy of bringing in younger, less heralded players into his squad.
