Lucas Digne Departs Everton to Join Aston Villa
24-Year-Old Left-Back Signs Four-and-a-Half-Year Contract
Lucas Digne has officially completed his move to Aston Villa from Everton, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Midlands club.
Digne Seeks Fresh Start
The French international defender, who joined Everton from Barcelona in 2018, has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park for several months.
Digne fell out of favor under former manager Rafa Benitez and is eager to reignite his career at Villa Park.
Villa Bolster Defensive Options
The signing of Digne represents a significant coup for Villa, who have been in need of a left-back since the departure of Matt Targett to Newcastle United in January.
The 24-year-old brings a wealth of experience to Steven Gerrard's squad, having made over 200 appearances in the Premier League and Champions League.
Everton Receive Transfer Fee
Everton are reported to have received a transfer fee in the region of £25 million for Digne, who had fallen down the pecking order at Goodison Park.
The Toffees have been busy in the transfer market this month, signing left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko from Dynamo Kyiv as a replacement for Digne.
