Premier League 2024-25: Aston Villa signs Marco Asensio, Axel Disasi on loan
Aston Villa has signed Spanish attacking midfielder Marco Asensio on loan from Paris St Germain until the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Monday.
Villa also announced that it has signed centre back Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea for the rest of the season.
Asensio joined PSG as a free agent in July 2023 after over eight years with Real Madrid where he won three Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles, and in his first season with the French club won the domestic double.
The 29-year-old, who has made 38 appearances for Spain, has scored two goals this season in 16 games for PSG, but Asensio has played just 18 minutes in the last eight league games for Luis Enrique’s side.
On the other hand, Disasi has made 61 appearances for Chelsea since arriving from Monaco in 2023. He has been capped five times by France since his international debut at the 2022 World Cup.
Villa, which is eighth in the Premier League standings and qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League, hosts Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
Marcus Rashford arrived at Villa on loan from Manchester United on Sunday.
