Villa sign Asensio and agree Disasi loan deal

Aston Villa have signed Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Asensio and agreed a deal for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.

Both players join the club on loan until the end of the season.

The duo follow the arrivals of Marcus Rashford, Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia at Villa Park during the winter transfer window.

Villa will reportedly cover the wages of three-time Champions League winner Asensio but do not have an option to make the move permanent.

They will pay a £5m fee to loan Disasi but again there is no purchase option.

Villa sold Colombia striker Jhon Duran to Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr in a £71m deal and centre-back Diego Carlos to Fenerbahce for about £8.
