Aston Villa sign Asensio on loan from PSG
Three-time Champions League winner Marco Asensio joined Aston Villa on loan from Paris Saint-Germain on Monday.
The former Real Madrid midfielder has signed until the end of the season.
He is the second major signing by Villa in the final days of the transfer window following the loan deal for Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.
The 29-year-old Asensio has played 38 times for Spain and helped his country win the Nations League in 2023.
Villa is into the round of 16 in the Champions League and competing for a place in the top four of the Premier League.
The Midlands club has been busy in January, also signing Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund for a reported $24 million and Andres Garcia from Levante for around $7 million.
