According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Aston Villa reached an agreement to bring Asensio in on loan for the rest of the season. This move won’t affect Marcus Rashford’s potential loan to Villa, which may include an option to buy.

Three-time Champions League winner Marco Asensio joined Aston Villa on loan from Paris Saint-Germain on Monday. The former Real Madrid midfielder has signed to the end of the season. He is the second major signing by Villa in the final days of the transfer window following the loan deal for Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.
