# Aston Villa: Talks at advanced stage for permanent Robin Olsen deal

**[Aston Villa](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/aston-villa-news/) are thought to be in advanced talks over a permanent move for goalkeeper Robin Olsen, [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-in-advanced-talks-to-sign-robin-olsen/) report.**

### The Lowdown: Olsen’s loan move

Olsen was one of [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405) senior signings made by Steven Gerrard in his first transfer window in charge at Villa Park.

The 32-year-old arrived on [loan](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2022/january/18/villa-confirm-robin-olsen-loan-signing/) from AS Roma and has been [on the bench](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robin-olsen/leistungsdaten/spieler/75458) for every Premier League game since moving to the Midlands.

Olsen has served as back up to Emiliano Martinez, and it looks as if the pair will continue to work closely together at Bodymoor Heath beyond the summer.

### The Latest: Source shares update

[FI](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-in-advanced-talks-to-sign-robin-olsen/) shared a story regarding Villa and Olsen on Thursday afternoon after being informed by a recruitment source.

### The Verdict: Good news

Although Olsen is yet to turn out in a Villa shirt, it is good news that he looks set to make his Villa stay a full-time one.

Labelled as [‘monstrous’](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jun/28/robin-olsen-from-roma-reject-to-swedens-giant-at-euro-2020) by the Spanish press following a performance for Sweden, Olsen has plenty of [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robin-olsen/leistungsdaten/spieler/75458) across Europe and on the international stage, winning [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robin-olsen/erfolge/spieler/75458) trophies during his career.

He appears to be happy as second choice to Martinez, so it looks as if Villa will now have two high-quality shot-stoppers on the books heading into Gerrard’s first full season.
