Offer accepted!! Aston Villa agree deal with Chelsea to sign Ian Maatsen for £37.5 million

Maatsen has been eyed by many top clubs in Europe following his impressive loan spell at Dortmund last season.

The defender helped the German side reach the final of the UEFA Champions League where they lost to Real Madrid.

The youngster is set to complete his move from Chelsea to Aston Villa in coming days after a deal was agreed by both parties.

Chelsea have agreed on a deal with Aston Villa and the 22-year-old left-back will only need to accept personal terms to finalise the transfer.

According to Daily Mail, Aston Villa and Chelsea have reached an agreement for Ian Maatsen for around £35 million.

Dortmund had hesitated to fully fulfil Maatsen's £35 million release clause from his Chelsea deal. 

That made room for others, and it is thought that Villa consented to pay a little more than that to obtain a more agreeable payment schedule.

However, the deal is yet to be completed as the player still needs to agree personal terms with Villa.
