Key Transfers
Philippe Coutinho / £18m / Barcelona
The creative Brazilian contributed just one goal in the last two months of the season and only gave glimpses of his old self during his loan spell. 2/5
Boubacar Kamara / Free / Marseille
Villa needed to upgrade their defensive midfield stock and the highly-rated Frenchman ticks that box emphatically. 4/5
Diego Carlos / £26m / Sevilla
Villa pulled off a coup by landing the cultured Brazilian centre-back who looks well suited to the Premier League. 4/5
Robin Olsen / £3m / Roma
Villa needed a reliable back-up goalkeeper to Emiliano Martinez and signing solid Swede Olsen is a smart piece of business. 3/5
Rory Wilson / Free / Rangers
Steven Gerrard returned to his old club to sign one of Rangers' top young talents. While he won't make an impact straight away, the Scottish striker bagged 49 goals for club and country last term and is an exciting prospect. 3/5
Ludwig Augustinsson / Loan / Sevilla
The Sweden international is one of three left-backs now on the books at Villa and although a solid operator, it seems unlikely he'll earn too many opportunities with Lucas Digne and Ashley Young ahead of him in the pecking order for now. 2/5
Matt Targett

Insights
Villa will hope Diego Carlos's arrival will help them hold on to a lead having dropped 19 points from winning positions last season
Villa haven't posted a top-half finish in the Premier League since 2011 and never got higher than 10th last season but that will be the minimum requirement after a summer of squad investment
Only Chelsea's Reece James (5) scored more goals from full-back than Villa's Matty Cash (4) in the last campaign
Discipline needs to improve with only Leeds (101) receiving more yellow cards than Villa's tally of 79 with Tyrone Mings collecting a joint league-high 11 cautions
Season Verdict
Aston Villa have backed Steven Gerrard to mould the squad in his vision and should see some progress following a below-par 2021/22 campaign. Signings Diego Carlos and Boubacar Kamara are upgrades on what they previously had and can help Villa break into the top half, although a European push may have to wait.
