"Aston Villa have wasted little time in getting their January transfer business underway after announcing the signing of Gremio teenager Alysson on Thursday. The Brazilian arrives at Villa Park for a reported £10.5m deal that consists of an £8.7m fee up front with a further £1.8m in performance-related add-ons. Alysson has made 31 league appearances for Gremio in 2025, registering one goal and two assists as they secured a ninth-placed finish in the Brazilian Serie A."
"He also completed 34 dribbles last season, more than any other player for Gremio in the top flight, and he will add a new dynamic to Villa's already flourishing attack. Only Chelsea (32), Manchester United (33), Arsenal (37) and Manchester City (43) have scored more goals than the Villans (30) in the Premier League so far this campaign. Alysson joins an attack that features the likes of Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, Jadon Sancho, Evann Guessand, and Donyell Malen, who have helped Villa to third in the top flight."

Aston Villa have completed the signing of 19-year-old Alysson from Gremio for a reported £10.5m, with £1.8m in add-ons. Alysson made 31 league appearances for Gremio in 2025, scoring once and providing two assists as the club finished ninth in the Brazilian Serie A. He completed 34 dribbles last season, the most for Gremio in the top flight, and is expected to bring extra dynamism to Villa's attack. Alysson will join forwards including Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, Jadon Sancho and Donyell Malen, and his arrival prompts questions over Harvey Elliott's limited appearances.
