Ross Barkley left Everton to join the Blues in 2018 and the 26-year-old has played in 86 games at Stamford Bridge, shooting 11 goals. Villa have already won their first Premier League games and the English defender could make his debut appearance against Liverpool this weekend. He is Villa’s fifth arrival this transfer window. The player follows in the footsteps of Bertrand Traore, Emiliano Martinez, Ollie Watkins, and Matty Cash. Jack Grealish also prolonged his contract with Villa for five years to stop speculation about his future.
