WINGER Bertrand Traore has joined Spanish side Villarreal on a free transfer for the rest of the season after leaving Aston Villa, both clubs said.
Villa confirmed that Traore had agreed a mutual termination of his contract.
The 28-year-old Burkina Faso international has struggled with playing time this season, only spending nine minutes on the field in the Premier League spread over two matches.
He will join struggling Villarreal, who are 14th in the LaLiga table with 23 points, seven clear of the relegation zone.
