What happened
Aston Villa have committed to spend about £280m in Unai Emery's summer rebuild. The arrivals of Ibrahim Mbaye and Taylor Harwood-Bellis on deadline day shows they are continuing to spend big. If all clauses and add-ons are triggered, Villa would be pushing £300m this summer, despite needing to sell to comply with Uefa and Premier League financial rules.
