The Norwegian's arrival follows Villa's loan signings of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Andre Moreira and Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe in the close season.

"I'm looking forward to playing for this big club and can't wait to get started," Nyland told Villa's website https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/08/07/orjan-nyland-joins-aston-villa. "Everything has moved very quickly and I'm really happy to be here and call myself a Villa player."
