Jadon Sancho joins Aston Villa on loan transfer as details of Man Utd outcast’s contract are revealed

JADON SANCHO and Harvey Elliott signed on loan for Aston Villa to revamp Unai Emery’s woeful attack.

The deal for Liverpool playmaker Elliott, 22, will become permanent for £35million next summer.

Villa are also paying 80 per cent of Sancho’s £200,000-a-week wages.

The signings are a big boost for boss Emery with Villa the only team in England’s top four leagues yet to score a goal.

Sancho, 25, had turned down Roma in the window and was also a target for Juventus and Besiktas.

United were keen to offload the England star after Chelsea paid them £5m for NOT fulfilling their agreement to sign him after last term’s loan spell.

Emery is a big Sancho fan and it is thought the player spoke to ex-Villans loan ace Marcus Rashford about the club.

A snippet of a Villa statement confirming Sancho’s arrival read: “Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.

“The England international joins Villa on a season-long loan.”

Elliott, also a target for RB Leipzig, should provide some creativity in attack.

Villa also landed ex-Red Devils centre-back Victor Lindelof, 31, on a free.
