Aston Villa announce the £33m signing of Pau Torres from Villarreal as the Spanish centre-back becomes Unai Emery's second signing of the summer after Youri Tielemans

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of £33million Villarreal centre-back Pau Torres - who becomes the club's second buy of the window.

Villa emerged as frontrunners to land the highly-rated Spanish defender, who has been tracked by a number of top sides over the years, with the 26-year-old now opting to join the Midlands outfit.

He follows Youri Tielemans in joining Unai Emery's men this summer, after the former Leicester City star arrived on a free transfer.
