Aston Villa Signs Ibrahim Mbaye and Taylor Harwood-Bellis

Aston Villa has completed the signings of Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain and Taylor Harwood-Bellis from Southampton. The transfer of 18-year-old Mbaye, a right-sided forward, is reported to be worth £47 million.

Mbaye, who is a Senegal international and made headlines at the 2026 World Cup, joins Villa following the sale of Ollie Watkins to Al Hilal for £51 million. Harwood-Bellis's transfer from Southampton involves a guaranteed fee of £25 million, with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons.

Mbaye, who debuted for PSG in 2024, has previously represented France at youth levels before switching to play for Senegal. His signing is seen as a significant addition to Villa's attacking options.
