Joe Bennett out on loan more than a library book

Agent Bennett

Aston Villa defender Joe Bennett is off to Bournemouth on a six-month loan deal.

Bennett has made 38 appearances since signing for Villa in 2012, but he spent last season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Now 25-year-old is off on his travels again. He must bloody love the south coast.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe needs to find cover for the stricken Tyrone Mings, who was clattered against Leicester City last weekend.

This wisdom of lending a defender to a rival in the league? We'll reserve judgement on that one.

"It's a good opportunity for me to add to the Premier League experience I've already amassed from my time at Aston Villa." said Bennett
