Aston Villa have completed the signing of Senegal winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris St-Germain for a fee of 55 million euros—£47m—BBC Sport reports. The move arrives on a transfer deadline day that has seen a cluster of deals across England's top flight and beyond.
Mbaye becomes Villa's latest addition as the clock runs down on the Premier League's window, which closes at 6 p.m. ET per ESPN's deadline day coverage. The winger's arrival adds depth to Unai Emery's attacking options ahead of the second half of the season.
The move is one of several high-profile signings finalized on deadline day across Europe. Tottenham have agreed a double deal to sign both Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea, sources tell ESPN. The dual transfer represents a significant show of intent from Spurs, bringing in both an attacking talent and defensive reinforcement.
Elsewhere, Sunderland have moved to bolster their own squad by agreeing a deal to sign winger Malick Fofana from Lyon on a five-year contract, ESPN sources report. Fofana had been linked with Arsenal before the move to the Championship side materialized.
Hull City, meanwhile, have secured German forward Ilyas Ansah from Bundesliga outfit Union Berlin on a five-year deal, per BBC Sport. The move continues Hull's transfer activity as the summer window reaches its conclusion.
The flurry of deadline-day business underscores the scramble to finalize deals before windows close across Europe's major leagues, with Premier League clubs particularly active in the final hours.
