Aston Villa have completed the g of full-back Andres Garcia from Levante.

The 21-year-old made his Levante debut in 2022 and made a further 46 appearances for the club, scoring four goals.

Three of those goals have been this season, with Garcia becoming a regular in Levante's starting line-up.

Villa are reportedly set to pay a fee of about £6m with a further £1m in add-ons.

Garcia has predominantly played at right-back in his career but has also at times featured on the right wing.

He is Villa's second g of the window following the arrival of Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund for £19m.

Malen's arrival compensated for the departure of Jaden Philogene to Ipswich Town in a £20m deal.

Villa, who are fifth in the 36-team Champions League table, face Monaco on Tuesday at 17:45 GMT.
