Rating every Aston Villa signing this summer transfer window as two deals get 10/10

Aston Villa were one of the biggest spenders in the transfer window.

The Villans outlai꧙d £148m on seven new signings with Unai Emery clearly eager to bolster his ranks ahead of a Champions League campaign.

So with that said, TBR Football has ranked every tra𝓰nsfer out of 10 based on the following factors:

Amadou Onana (£49.9m) – 10/10

Amadou Onana was Aston Villa’s most expensive arrival of the 💟window and he’s already making a real impact.

The 2001-born has netted two goals in his first three outings and could﷽ be Villa’s 🅺talisman for the next decade.

Absolutely brilliant business and for a pretty reasonable fe𒀰e, too.

Ian Maatsen (£37.4m) – 8/10

Ian Maatsen enjoyed a really productive loan spell at Borussia Dortmund last season and played in the C❀hampions League final.

So, quite clearly, Villa have signed a top-level left-back who could be a mainstay for the next decade given he only turned 22 ওin March.

A little pricey but nonetheless, a smart pickup.

Jaden Philogene (£13.4m) – 7/10

Having departed for Hull City in a £5m deal last summer, Jaden Philogene returned for m▨ore than double that fee in July.

That alone brings the🎐 rating down a tad but as a player, Philogen🙈e will be a brilliant playmaker for Emery, should he be given the opportunity.

Samuel Iling-Junior (£11.7m) – 6/10

Involved in the swap deal with Douglas 🎐Luiz, Samuel Iling-Junior joins with promise but won’t make an immediate impact at Villa Park having been shipped out on loan to Bologna.

Aged only 20, the winger has plenty of time to repay his fജee.

Lewis Dobbin (£9.9m) – 5/10

Lewis D💃obbin was another who was part of a swap deal, this time with Onana.

Dobbin has already departed🧜 for West Bromwich Albion on loan, where he is yet to get off the mark in five outings.

He 🐎seems 🔥a long way away from Emery’s first-team set-up…

Enzo Barrenechea (£6.7m) – 6/10

Enzo Barrenechea, like Iling-Junior, joined from Juventus with Luiz heading the other wayꦆ.

£6.7m is no fee in the modern Premier League, so it’s steady business from spor🍷ting director Monchi.

Ross Barkley (£4.9m) – 10/10

Joining ওOnana in the 10 out of 10 club is Ross Barkley, who flourished for Luton Town in the Premier League last season.

Barkley’s technical ability places him 🍎among the best in Emery’s squad and for just £4.9m, it’s a no-risk deal with a significant upside.

Take a bow, Monchi.
