Baros exits as Carew flies in
Lyon have completed the signing of Aston Villa striker Milan Baros.
Lyon have completed the signing of Aston Villa striker Milan Baros, with John Carew poised to head in the opposite direction.
The Ligue 1 side announced the signing of Baros on their website, but no details of the deal have yet been announced.
"Czech international striker Milan Baros will be officially presented today (Monday) at 4pm," read the statement on Lyon's official website.
Norwegian international Carew is expected at Villa Park on Monday to discuss terms ahead of a likely swap deal.
Baros will link up with his former boss at Liverpool Gerard Houllier, the man who signed him from Banik Ostrava.
After falling out of favour at Anfield, Baros made a £6.5million move to Villa in August 2005.
But after a largely disappointing spell in the West Midlands - Baros scored just once in 17 league appearances this season - the Czech is on the move again.
