Everton and Belgium midfielder Amadou Onana has joined Aston Villa in a £50million deal.
The Belgium international has put pen to paper on a five-year contract after the two clubs agreed a fee for the 22-year-old.
Onana failed to make much of an impact at Goodison Park in a struggling team since his £35m arrival from Lille two years ago but, after featuring for his country at Euro 2024, Villa boss Unai Emery believes he will strengthen his squad as they prepare to play in the Champions League for the first time.
Douglas Luiz left for Juventus last month, freeing up money and space for Onana while keeping Villa within Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Villa have already signed Ross Barkley from Luton, Juventus pair Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea, Sheffield United's Cameron Archer, Ian Maatsen from Chelsea, former winger Jaden Philogene from Hull, and Everton's Lewis Dobbin.
Everton will also be grateful for the influx of cash for a player who endured a difficult final couple of months of the season and started only two of the last six games – the final two fixtures of the campaign when top-flight status had already been secured.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have signed United States left-back Caleb Wiley on a six-year contract.
The 19-year-old joins the Blues from Major League Soccer side Atlanta United, with the fee reported to be £8.5million.
He has been part of Atlanta's first-team squad since 2022 and made his senior debut for the US national team against Mexico last October.
Wiley is currently in Paris, where he is part of the US squad for the Olympic Games football tournament. It is expected he could spend next season on loan at Strasbourg, who are part of the same Blueco ownership group as Chelsea.
