Aston Villa secure last-minute double deadline day deal
Aston Villa sign Man United and Liverpool attackers to kickstart season
- Aston Villa have completed two significant loan signings, bringing in winger Jadon Sancho from Manchester United and midfielder Harvey Elliott from Liverpool.
- The deal for Jadon Sancho is his third successive loan, with Aston Villa agreeing to pay a loan fee and 80 per cent of his considerable wages.
- Harvey Elliott joins on a season-long loan, which includes an obligation for Aston Villa to purchase the England Under-21 international from Liverpool for £35m next summer.
- These reinforcements address Unai Emery's need for new players, as Aston Villa were the only Premier League team yet to score a goal this season.
- Liverpool included both a sell-on and a buy-back clause in Elliott's deal, as the player sought more first-team opportunities after winning the European Under-21 Championships.
