Aston Villa have confirmed the signings of Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior from Juventus.

The duo join following the sale of midfielder Douglas Luiz to the Serie A giants on Sunday.

Barrenechea, 23, signed for Juventus in 2020, but the defensive midfielder spent last season on loan at Frosinone, where he featured 39 times, scoring one goal and offering one assist.

Iling-Junior, 20, joined the Italian club from Chelsea's academy in 2020 and has since made 45 appearances for the senior side, scoring two goals and registering four assists.

Operating predominantly on the left, Iling-Junior has also been capped at international level for the England Under-21 side.

Aston Villa have not disclosed the fees for the two players.
