After joining Aston Villa on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, Marco Asensio has made his Premier League debut. Following multiple prior attempts to sign him, the Spanish forward is expected to stay with the team until the end of the season, the club said Wednesday. Villa has been effective in reintegrating the Mallorca native under Unai Emery’s leadership. In the summer transfer window of 2023, Asensio joined PSG. He played 47 games for the Rouge & Bleu, scoring 7 goals and dishing out 11 assists.
In addition to winning another Trophée des Champions in Qatar in January 2025, he added a Ligue 1 championship, a Coupe de France, and the Trophée des Champions with the Parisian club during the 2023–2024 season to his trophy collection. Asensio joins a number of well-known players at Aston Villa, such as Dutch international Donyell Malen, who cost €35 million to go from Borussia Dortmund. The 25-year-old forward is anticipated to become a crucial offensive substitute after Jhon Durán left for Saudi Arabia. His quickness and goal-scoring prowess will probably be crucial to the team’s offensive rotations.
