Belgian-Ghanaian midfielder Romeo Lavia is the subject of a rumoured move from Chelsea to Aston Villa.
The 22-year-old joined Chelsea from Southampton in August 2023 in a deal worth €62.1m and remains under contract at Stamford Bridge until June 2030. The potential switch would keep Lavia in the Premier League, with Aston Villa listed as the club linked with his signature.
Lavia has made eight Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season, starting 60% of the club’s matches and contributing one goal and one assist. He has also featured twice in the EFL Cup, with 51% of Chelsea’s league minutes so far.
His current market value is listed at €25m, below the fee Chelsea paid to sign him from Southampton. Lavia was part of the Chelsea squad that won the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, one of the club’s recent honours.
The midfielder began his senior career with Southampton after progressing through Manchester City’s academy system. He has made 10 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea this season, but the Villa link raises the possibility of a change in his club future despite his long-term contract.
