Aston Villa has signed Adama Traore from Barcelona on a five-year deal worth up to €12 million.

Traore made four senior appearances for the Camp Nou outfit, and had been widely expected to be on the move this summer -- Liverpool and Stoke among the Premier League clubs also interested.

Barcelona holds a buy back option for the first three years and a right to share in a possible future transfer.

Traore is a 19-year-old right winger born in Barcelona to Malian parents.
