Aston Villa have completed the signing of 19-year-old Brazilian winger Alysson from Gremio for a reported £10.5m, with the deal initially worth £8.7m plus an additional £1.8m in performance-related add-ons. The Midlands club beat league leaders Arsenal on Saturday to move three points behind them in the Premier League table and up to third, behind second-placed Manchester City.
Villa's manager Unai Emery has been keen to strengthen his squad during the January transfer window, and Alysson is expected to provide additional width and pace to their attack. The young winger had already made a significant impact for Gremio this season, scoring two goals and providing five assists in 43 appearances.
The Brazilian has also attracted interest from other clubs, but Villa have won the race to sign him, with a sell-on clause of 10% reportedly included in the deal. This is a major coup for Emery's side, who are looking to challenge for European qualification next season.
With Alysson joining Jadon Sancho, Donyell Malen and Evann Guessand in attack, Villa will be hoping to exploit their pace and skill on the pitch. The arrival of the talented winger has given the club a boost ahead of their big match against Manchester City this weekend.
However, it remains to be seen how Alysson will adapt to life at Villa Park, but with Emery's experience guiding him, the young Brazilian looks set to make an instant impact.

can't wait to see him in action at villa park, especially with Sancho, Malen and Guessand already on the attack they might just give city a run for their money this weekend

Emery's done it again, got a major coup for his side
... £10.5m is a lot of cash for a 19-yr-old player who's never played in the Prem before... he's gotta do way better than just score 2 goals and provide 5 assists to justify that price tag 
... don't get me wrong, Alysson seems like a talented young lad, but Villa already got some quality players in their squad like Sancho and Malen, so I'm not convinced this signing is gonna make a massive difference 
... gotta wait and see how he adapts to the Prem and if Emery's tactics work for him 
! £10.5m is a huge sum for a 19-yr-old, but I guess they really wanted this kid. He's already making waves in Brazil with his skills on the pitch and now he's going to join the squad with some big names like Jadon Sancho 
. Emery's got a good eye for talent, I'm excited to see how Alysson develops at Villa Park 
. They're gonna be tough to beat in the Premier League with this new attack 
. Can't wait to watch him take on Manchester City this weekend 
.
. Emery knows what he's doing, so fingers crossed he can make an instant impact on the pitch 
i mean its not cheap but if he can bring some pace and skill to their attack like they say, it could be a game changer 
especially with sancho malen and guessand already on board. gonna be interesting to see how the team performs against man city this weekend 
. it'll be interesting to see how he fits in at villa park, but unai emery seems like the perfect guy to bring him along... fingers crossed villa can keep up with city and arsenal, that would be amazing! 
.
! But seriously though, Alysson's gotta step up his game 'cause he's just joined the big boys now. I mean, how hard can it be to beat Arsenal? 
Either way, Emery's got a good squad and they're looking fierce right now. And can we talk about the fact that Manchester City is basically the only team in England with unlimited resources... like, what's their secret sauce?! 
! And Alysson's pace and skill are gonna light up Villa Park. Bring on the match against Man City this weekend, I'm SO hyped for this one
