Ian Maatsen, a left-back, was acquired by Aston Villa from Chelsea for £37.5 million on a six-year deal.

Maatsen, who will be Unai Emery’s second summer acquisition, is presently playing for the Netherlands in Euro 2024.

After assisting Borussia Dortmund in winning the championship, the 22-year-old was included in the Champions League Team of the Season.
