Ron Vlaar can't wait to meet the Villa faithful - and his wish will be granted TODAY.

Vlaar personally requested the opportunity to meet the fans of his new club and will do so at the Villa Village Store at 2.30pm.*

Vlaar was a huge favourite with supporters at Feyenoord and he made it clear in his AVTV signing interview that fans are vital for any club's success.

The huge centre-half will be on hand to greet supporters in B6 and will also happily sign items purchased in store on the day.

Vlaar has been handed the No.4 shirt if supporters wish to print his name and number on their new Macron/Genting shirts.

The meet and greet follows a press conference to herald his arrival at Villa Park.

*Please be aware that this time is subject to his training schedule and may change by 30 mins or so at late notice.
