Aston Villa completed their summer transfer business with two more signings on deadline day, bringing in Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Ibrahim Mbaye for a combined fee of around £77 million. The duo became Villa's ninth and tenth additions of the window, and both could make their debuts on Saturday when the club faces Hull City at the MKM Stadium, with kick-off at 5:30pm and live coverage on Sky Sports.
Busy summer of transition at Villa Park
The arrivals capped a window defined by significant change, as Villa lost more than half of the starting XI that featured in the Europa League final against SC Freiburg in May. The club's summer activity included both high-profile departures and a series of new faces, reshaping the squad under manager Unai Emery.
Among the notable outgoings, Morgan Rogers moved to Chelsea for a club-record £117 million, while Ezri Konsa joined Arsenal for £55 million and Ollie Watkins was sold to Al-Hilal for £50 million. Youri Tielemans departed to Manchester United for £35 million, and Donyell Malen left for AS Roma for £23 million.
