Aston Villa will be looking to have a productive January transfer window with them one of the many sides capable of earning a play-off place in the Championship.

The race for the top six is looking as fierce as ever right now and teams know that one slip-up could let several grab an advantage.

Villa, then, need to be strong in the remainder of the season to earn themselves a shot at the Premier League once more and that has been reflected by a pretty impressive signing in the last 24 hours.

Indeed, they have managed to bring in young defender Kortney Hause on loan from Wolves in a deal that could work out nicely for the Villans.

Certainly, he seems happy to have made the short trip to Villa Park and this is what he had to say on Twitter:

The Verdict

A defender of considerable talent, this could be a very good signing for Aston Villa.

It's clear that he is happy to sign for the club and you'd never be surprised if he quickly embedded himself into the side given their defensive problems at times this season.

For sure, he could form a very classy partnership with James Chester this year.
