Lucas Digne joins Villa from Everton

The 28-year-old left-back played 127 games and scored six goals for Everton after joining from Barcelona in 2018.

“When Lucas became available we jumped at the opportunity to bring him to the club,” said Villa manager Gerrard.

“To sign a player of his pedigree and quality in the January window is a great addition to our squad and his arrival excites me and everyone associated with Aston Villa.”

Everton said Digne had joined Villa for an undisclosed fee.
