Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Marco Asensio from French champions PSG on loan until the end of the season. The 29-year-old Spain international is currently under contract with the Parisians until June 2026. He has been at PSG since July 2023 when he arrived from Real Madrid. There is no option to buy in the deal and Villa will reportedly cover Asensio's wages. Villa manager Unai Emery has been desperate to bolster their attack following the departure of top scorer Jhon Duran to Al Nassr for £65million.

The Spain international was an unused substitute in three of the last four games for PSG. Three-time Champions League winner Asensio has scored seven goals in 47 appearances for PSG, having netted 61 times in 286 outings for Real Madrid. Asensio could make his Villa debut alongside Rashford against Tottenham in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday. Following Saturday night's 2-0 defeat by Wolves, Unai Emery insisted that his team needed to make additions before the winter transfer window shut.
