Aston Villa have signed Togo international Moustapha Salifou for an undisclosed fee
The midfielder becomes Villa manager Martin O'Neill's third acquisition during the last 48 hours.
Salifou, 24, has moved to Villa Park from Swiss outfit FC Wil on a one-year contract.
Salifou played in all three of his country's group matches in the 2006 World Cup in Germany alongside Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebeyor.
Determination
He follows defenders Zat Knight and Curtis Davies into Villa Park to take O'Neill's summer signings to six in total.
O'Neill said of Salifou: "He has great determination to succeed at this level and may well prove to be an excellent asset."
Villa owner Randy Lerner has now spent more than £40million on new players since taking control of the club 12 months ago.
