BURNLEY have swooped to sign Aston Villa's Eric Djemba-Djemba on loan for the remainder of the season.

The Cameroon international, 26, joined the Clarets on Friday and the former Manchester United star goes straight into the squad for tomorrow's game at Southampton.

Burnley manager Steve Cotterill said: "Eric has good pedigree and we are hoping that once we get him fit he will be a good addition to the squad for the rest of the season."
