Aston Villa have confirmed their 25-man Premier League squad for the 2026/27 campaign, with Unai Emery welcoming 10 new players to the club during the summer transfer window.
Summer of Transition at Villa Park
It was a summer of transition at Villa Park, with Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans, Lucas Digne, Ezri Konsa, Ollie Watkins and Emiliano Martínez among those to leave the club. The departures have reshaped the squad significantly as Emery looks to build for the new season.
Premier League rules state that each squad can contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the "Home Grown Player" (HGP) criteria. The remainder of the squad, up to a maximum of 25 players, must fulfil the HGP criteria.
