Ron Vlaar has no doubts Jores Okore will prove a quality signing for Aston Villa.

The Dane is expected to be out for the season.

Vlaar is certainly an admirer of the bruising centre-half and thinks Villa will be all the better for seeing him back.

He told Villa's website: "He is a special talent. He's strong and quick and he's a really good defender. He makes the team better when he plays."
