Jadon Sancho’s latest loan move! Man Utd misfit completes deadline day move to Aston Villa as Harvey Elliott also moves to the Midlands
Aston Villa have completed a season-long loan move for Jadon Sancho from Manchester United while also bringing in Harvey Elliott from Liverpool.
According to The Athletic, Villa will cover 80 percent of Sancho’s wages, though the agreement does not include a purchase option at the end of the season. The 25-year-old spent last term at Chelsea on loan and will now look to reignite his career under Unai Emery.

Elliott’s switch from Liverpool has been structured as a loan with an obligation to buy, dependent on certain performance-related conditions. The deal was made possible as Villa worked carefully within Financial Fair Play limits during the summer window.
Sancho is entering the final year of his United contract, though the club retain the option to extend it by 12 months. His arrival offers Emery another wide option, with the England international capable of playing on either flank. Despite inconsistent form at Old Trafford, Sancho’s pedigree at the highest level remains unquestioned.
Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Harvey Elliott from Liverpool.
The 22-year-old joins the club on an initial season-long loan deal with an obligation to buy conditional on appearances.

Talks over his transfer had run in tandem with United’s interest in Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, and his addition—alongside Elliott—injects extra quality into a squad hoping to turn around a difficult start to the Premier League season.
Both players will now link up with their new teammates ahead of Villa’s upcoming league fixtures and European campaign, with Emery optimistic that Sancho can rediscover his best form and Elliott can continue his development at Villa Park.
