Aston Villa have signed Spain midfielder Marco Asensio on loan from Paris St-Germain until the end of the season.<\/b><\/p>\n

The three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid is Villa’s fourth signing of the winter transfer window after Marcus Rashford, Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia.<\/p>\n

Villa will reportedly cover the 29-year-old’s wages but do not have an option to make the move permanent.<\/p>\n

Asensio has scored seven goals in 47 appearances for PSG since joining from Real Madrid in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

He helped the club win the French title last season, but this term he has made just eight league starts.<\/p>\n

He was also part of the Spain squad that won the Nations League in 2023.<\/p>\n

Villa boss Unai Emery said his side needed new players following Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Wolves, which left the club eighth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

They sold Colombia striker Jhon Duran to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr in a \u00a371m deal and centre-back Diego Carlos to Fenerbahce for around \u00a38.45m.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Monday they loaned 21-year-old winger Samuel Iling-Junior to Middlesbrough for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

Villa completed the loan signing of Manchester United forward Rashford<\/a>, 27 – which includes an option to buy for \u00a340m – on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Netherlands forward Malen, 26, joined Villa for \u00a319m from Borussia Dortmund three weeks ago, while Spanish full-back Garcia, 21, joined from Levante for a reported fee of \u00a36m with a further \u00a31m in add-ons.<\/p>\n

Asensio could make his Villa debut alongside Rashford against Tottenham in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday (17:35 GMT) – a match that is live on BBC One and iPlayer.<\/p>\n

Villa are also in the last 16 of the Champions League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
