The highly rated Villa goalkeeper has joined the Scottish club for the 2019-20 season.
A number of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the news that young goalkeeper Matija Sarkic has joined Livingston on a season-long loan.
The 21-year-old is a Montenegro Under-21 international and spent some time on loan at National League outfit Havant and Waterlooville last season.
With Liam Kelly having left the Scottish Premiership club for Queens Park Rangers this month, Sarkic is expected to compete with Ross Stewart to be first choice in between the sticks (official Livi website).
The keeper has featured in a number of matchday squads for Villa but is yet to make a first team appearance, though he did feature for Wigan Athletic for part of the 2017-18 campaign (Transfermarkt).
Here is what some of the Villa Park faithful made of the announcement on the social media platform:
Livingston boss Gary Holt has already recruited Robbie Crawford, Cece Franck Pepe and Nicky Devlin this summer as Livi gear up for the 2019-20 season and seek to better last term’s ninth-placed finish.
Villa, meanwhile, are gearing up for their long-awaited return to the Premier League, with their first fixture away at Tottenham Hotspur.
