Aston Villa sign Chelsea left-back Maatsen for £35m

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen for £35m.

Maatsen, 22, spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund and helped the Bundesliga club to reach the Champions League final.

The left-back is with the Netherlands at Euro 2024 as they prepare for a last-16 tie against Romania on Tuesday.

He is Aston Villa’s second signing of the summer after Lewis Dobbin joined from Everton.
