John Carew has told compatriot John Arne Riise that he should move to Aston Villa.

Villa have been tipped to make a bid for Riise in January, with the Norwegian believed to be a long-standing target of manager Martin O'Neill.

Now Carew has backed his countryman to link-up with him in the Second City.

"It seems like John Arne wants to go, so I can't see why not?" Carew told Dagbladet.

"There is a possibility.

"He would fit in very well at Villa, so that would be a positive."
