Aston Villa complete signing of left-back from Chelsea.

Ian Maatsen has transferred from Chelsea to Aston Villa. The 22-year-old’s move is valued at £37.5 million. He agreed to a six-year contract at Villa Park. Borussia Dortmund had shown interest in Maatsen, who spent the last half of the previous season on loan at the German club.

The 22-year-old has signed a six-year deal and moves to Villa Park for a fee of £37.5m.

Maatsen had a £35m release clause which expired earlier this month, allowing Chelsea to negotiate the higher price they agreed with Villa.

Borussia Dortmund were keen on signing the defender on a permanent deal after his successful loan spell with them last season. They made offers but fell short of the original release clause.

He made 16 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund, scoring two goals, and featured seven times in the Champions League, scoring once.
