Aston Villa Report

Lucas Digne has completed his move to PSG from #AVFC after the French champions activated his release clause, worth less than £10m. The 33yo leaves Villa after 140 apps across four-and-a-half seasons, having joined from Everton - a terrific servant. 🇫🇷 http////www.birminghammai

#AVFC end their Asia Tour with a 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup clash with PSG. João Gomes was outstanding and produced a lovely finish to beat Manuel Neuer, but Tammy Abraham should have equalised moments later. 🇭🇰 http////www.birminghammail.co
