Alejandro Garnacho has completed a season-long loan move to Aston Villa from Premier League rivals Chelsea, it was announced yesterday.

The winger is Villa's fourth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of Johan Manzambi, Joao Gomes and Modou Keba Cisse at the Europa League champions.

“We are delighted with Alejandro,” said Villa manager Unai Emery. “He is so talented, young and he showed us his wish to help our project. We are really happy.”

Earlier this month, Garnacho was reportedly told by new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso he would not be guaranteed regular game time at Stamford Bridge.

The 22-year-old leaves the London club after a poor first season following his move from Manchester United.
