Aston Villa January transfers and net spend: Every confirmed signing and sale for Unai Emery's side in 2026 winter window

Aston Villa spent very little in the summer transfer window ahead of the 2025-26 season due to Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) constraints, with their main signing being Evann Guessand from Nice.

The forward has yet to find consistency since moving to the West Midlands, which prompted his loan move to Crystal Palace in the January transfer window, which is just one of Villa’s several dealings during a busy winter period.

In addition to a number of loan exits, Villa also brought in a few players, with former stars returning temporarily or on a permanent basis in an effort to strengthen their squad and bolster their title contention.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Aston Villa’s confirmed ins and outs from the 2026 January transfer window, which closed on February 2, as well as their net spend and the latest transfer rumours.
