England international Ross Barkley has rejoined Aston Villa, the Premier League club announced Monday.
The former Everton and Chelsea midfielder returns to Villa on a permanent basis from relegated Luton after making 24 appearances for the Birmingham club during a 2020/21 loan spell.
Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Ross Barkley from Luton Town, said a club statement, which did not disclose the length of the players contract or a transfer fee.
The 30-year-olds arrival at Villa Park came after the club announced earlier Monday they had signed the Juventus duo of Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea for a combined 22 million euros (18.6 million, $23.6 million).
The Italian club said English forward Iling-Junior, 20, had joined for a fee of 14 million euros plus three million euros in possible add-ons.
