Aston Villa have signed goalkeeper Matija Sarkic from Anderlecht.

The 18-year-old stopper has penned a three-year deal at Villa Park and joins Brad Guzan, Mark Bunn and Jed Steer as goalkeepers at the club.

Sarkic came through the youth system at Belgian club Anderlecht - which also oversaw the development of Vincent Kompany and Romelu Lukaku - and has been playing for their under-19 team.

Sarkic played for Montenegro in the Under-17 European Championship in 2013 and is in the under-21 squad for their European Championship qualifier in Moldova on Friday.
