Transfer: Aston Villa agree deal to sign Garnacho from Chelsea

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea.

The deal is for a loan with a conditional obligation to buy, which is easily achievable.

The total package, including the loan fee, is understood to meet Chelsea’s valuation.

Sky Sports News has been reporting Chelsea wanted £42.6m (€50m) for the winger.

Garnacho joined Chelsea last summer from Manchester United for £40m.

The winger had not reported for pre-season at Chelsea to allow him to find a move away.
