Aston Villa made a lot of transfers since the start of last season. However, last time it was a case of replacing a lost star. Jack Grealish had made his move to Man City for £100 million. This move left Villa with a lot of cash to spend on new players. But, the transfers under their former boss Dean Smith did not work out. Moreover, some might also question if the players brought were the right choices. Smith was sacked midway through it due to a lack of results.
Steven Gerrard was appointed from Rangers F.C. Soon after, Gerrard made two big-name signings.
Philippe Coutinho joined from Barcelona. He made an impact right after his move. The move would only be the stuff of dreams for the Villa fans if not for Gerrard. Coutinho and Gerrard were teammates at Liverpool. This connection led to the move being a lot easier. Also, it has been made permanent following the season’s end.
Furthermore, Lucas Digne came in from Everton. The French fullback was at the peak of his powers at the time. However, due to some off-field issues, he decided to leave. Nevertheless, Digne also made a promising start at his new club. All of a sudden, the Aston Villa transfers were making sense.
Villa has already signed two players since the season ended. And they are reportedly after a big-name third.
