It's official: Fletcher Boyd has signed for Aston Villa from Aberdeen. The midfielder's move has been confirmed by both clubs, with personal terms and registration finalised. He will now link up with his new teammates ahead of the upcoming fixtures, having completed a medical and agreed on contract terms. Unlike many transfers, this move came without rival competition, allowing Aston Villa to finalise the signing smoothly. Aston Villa are only scoring 0.67 goals per game (4 in 6) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Fletcher Boyd would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Aberdeen have also been linked with Jesper Karlsson while Aston Villa are reportedly monitoring Harvey Elliott, Senne Lammens and Diogo Costa.
