On Saturday, Youri Tielemans finalized his move to Aston Villa. The Belgian midfielder, who played for Leicester City last season before being demoted from the Premier League, is moving over on a free transfer. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who will also be added to Aston Villa on a free transfer, will likely join Tielemans there.
It is acceptable to say that the move of Tielemans to Aston Villa is unexpected and surprising. The 26-year-old midfielder, for instance, had previously been linked to Arsenal, but must now settle for a move to the English midfield. Aston Villa competed in the Conference League last year and will again after finishing seventh in the Premier League this year. Tielemans has a four-year contract with Aston Villa.
Oxlade-Chamberlain will join Tielemans at Aston Villa, according to talkSPORT. The 29-year-old offensive midfielder will join manager Unai Emery’s squad for free because his contract with Liverpool is about to expire.
