Sidwell Deal Is Off

Last updated : 05 August 2010 By Francesca Markey

Mark Hughes has decided not to sign the former Chelsea and Reading midfielder, despite a £2 million deal which was agreed upon when Roy Hodgson was in charge of Fulham.

Sidwell only had to pass a medical before signing the deal but Hughes has decided not to go ahead with the move and the midfielder will now remain at Villa.
