Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Spanish international Pau Torres from Villarreal.

The 26-year-old defender, who has been capped on 23 occasions for his country, arrives at Villa for an undisclosed fee.

A native of Villarreal, Torres came through the ranks of his hometown club and went on to become a key player for the La Liga side.

Pau lifted the Europa League in 2021, under the guidance of Unai Emery, and helped Villarreal reach the semi-finals of the Champions League a year later.

The move is subject to international clearance and a successful visa application.

Welcome, Pau! 🇪🇸
