Everton’s left-back Lucas Digne has joined another Premier League club Aston Villa.
The 28-year-old French star agreed to join Villa after the £25m deal.
Digne said he had not expected his time at Everton would end up this way.
“Thank you for 3 1/2 years in Blue. I have loved to be a part of the Everton family,” Digne posted on Instagram.
“Everything must come to an end. I just did not expect it to end this way.
“What has happened and some things that were said about me in the last month has made me very sad.
Digne has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Steven Gerrard’s Villa.
Villa’s boss Gerrard said, “We jumped at the opportunity when Digne became was available.”
Gerrard trusts Digne and has said his arrival will make a great addition to the club.
Digne moved to Everton from Barcelona in the summer of 2018 for £18m and made 127 appearances.
