Former Aston Villa midfielder Ashley Westwood has completed a Deadline Day transfer to Burnley, the Premier League side have confirmed via their official Twitter account.

The Daily Mail reported on the then-potential move last night, claiming the Villans would look to sell the 26-year-old in a bid to raise funds for their pursuit of Brentford striker Scott Hogan - which, according to the same publication, the Birmingham outfit have now wrapped up at an initial cost of £9million.

Westwood was a good servant during his time at Villa Park, albeit part of the squad that suffered relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season, making over 150 appearances across all competitions following a 2012 switch from Crewe.

So keen to discover how Villa supporters felt about his potential departure, we asked fans earlier today whether the club should part with the playmaking midfielder. Well, the results are now in and Football FanCast can exclusively reveal that a staggering 80% of Villa fans are happy with the deal.

Clearly, Steve Bruce has got piece of Deadline Day business exactly right.
