Author: AFP

Aston Villa have signed Netherlands defender Ian Maatsen from Premier League rivals Chelsea, the club announced Friday on their website. No fee was disclosed, but several British media outlets reported Maatsen had moved to Villa in a deal worth £37.5 million ($47.4 million, 44.3 million euros). The 22-year-old left-back was a member of the Borussia Dortmund team beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid in the Champions League final at Wembley earlier this month while on loan from Stamford Bridge. He is currently with the Netherlands at Euro 2024 in Germany after being called into the squad as a replacement for injured Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong. Maatsen is the second player signed by Villa manager Unai Emery in the pre-season transfer window following forward Lewis Dobbin’s arrival from Everton.
