Pau Torres seals transfer from Villarreal to Aston Villa as Unai Emery continues to build squad
Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Pau Torres from Villarreal.
After guiding Aston Villa away from trouble and into the top half of the Premier League last season, manager Unai Emery is looking to strengthen his squad.
He has used his knowledge of La Liga, and his former club Villarreal in particular, to add to his ranks.

Torres emerged as a key target for Emery, and signed for an undisclosed fee.
The move reunites the 26-year-old with Emery, who coached him for a couple of seasons at Villarreal.
Torres is a product of the Yellow Submarine academy, and made his debut for the club in 2017.
He was out of contract at the end of 2024, and Villarreal elected to cash in rather than risk the prospect of him leaving on a free next summer.
An established Spain international, he was part of the squad at the 2022 World Cup, and as such Torres should add considerable quality to the defensive ranks at Villa Park.
