Villa sign Senegal winger Mbaye from PSG

Aston Villa has signed Senegal winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris St-Germain in a £47 million deal, the club announced on Tuesday. The 18-year-old played 31 times for PSG last season as they secured the Champions League and Ligue 1 titles. Mbaye also made four appearances for Senegal at the recent World Cup, where he became the youngest African player to score in the men's tournament with a goal against France.

He has since earned 15 caps for his country since making his debut for PSG at the age of 16. Aston Villa expressed their delight at securing the signing of this promising young prospect, who scored for Senegal during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
