LONDON, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Aston Villa completed a loan for Paris Saint-Germain's striker Marco Asensio until the end of the season.
Asensio joins after 18 months at PSG, whom he joined on a free transfer from Real Madrid.
The Spain international has scored seven times in 41 matches for the French side, but has fallen out of favor with coach Luis Enrique in recent months and only made 16 appearances this season.
Asensio is Villa's second loan signing in as many days, with the club also having agreed to take on Manchester United's out-of-favor forward Marcus Rashford until the end of the season
Asensio's signing is the biggest deal to have gone through in the Premier League with just a few hours left on the last day of the January transfer window.
Other moves include Brighton's 20-year-old forward Evan Ferguson joining West Ham on loan until the end of the season.
Midfielder James Ward-Prowse has also returned to West Ham from Nottingham Forest after the two sides agreed to terminate his season-long loan, while Brighton have signed Stefanos Tzimas, 19, from FC Nurnberg. ■
