Aston Villa striker Andi Weimann has agreed to join Derby County in a £2.75 million deal.

The 23-year-old Austrian international follows former Villa frontman Darren Bent to the Rams.

He has signed a four-year deal with the Championship club as new boss Paul Clement tries to mount a fresh promotion push. .

Weimann had a year left on the three-year contract he signed with Villa in the summer of 2013.

Villa had high hopes for the former Rapid Vienna striker who came through the Bodymoor Heath academy.

Given a first team debut by youth team mentor and caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald in August 2010, his first senior goal was a crucial one in the March 2012 win over Fulham which played a big part in Villa staying up under Alex McLeish.

It was the following season - Paul Lambert's first year in charge - that he really announced his arrival with 12 goals in all competitions, but has only managed six and foul goals in the past two campaigns.

All in all he has scored 24 goals in 91 starts and 35 substitute appearances for Villa.
