Aston Villa have confirmed the club-record signing of Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea while also reaching a verbal agreement to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye.
Your Site News understands Villa are paying a fixed fee of £47.5m for Jackson, which could reach £65m.
The total package surpasses the £59.5m they agreed for Johan Maznambi earlier this summer, meaning Villa have broken their transfer record twice in this window.
Jackson has been signed as Ollie Watkins' replacement, as he nears a £50m move to Al Hilal.
The England striker, who was not involved against Brighton, is currently undergoing a medical ahead of his move to Saudi Arabia.
Ibrahim Mbaye’s transfer to Aston Villa from Paris Saint-Germain is expected to be completed soon.
The contract is being finalised and a medical is due to take place this weekend.
The deal for the 18-year-old is worth £47m. PSG are making up to £170m from the deals for , and Mbaye.
Mbaye predominantly plays on the right wing and made 24 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG last season, scoring three goals and adding two assists.
It has been a summer of upheaval for the Villa squad after losing Youri Tielemans, Morgan Rogers, Ezri Konsa and Lucas Digne. Ollie Watkins and Emiliano Martinez also look set to leave the club.
Alejandro Garnacho, Johan Manzambi, Leon Goretzka, Joao Gomes, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Matteo Ruggeri and Nicolas Jackson have all arrived.
Speaking ahead of Villa facing Arsenal, live on Monday Night Football, Unai Emery was asked about the club's transfer plans ahead of Deadline Day on September 1.
"We took some decisions because it's good for the club. We tried to compete as good as possible, but some situations are clear," he said.
"It's the right way and decision. We don't want to be a club to sell players, but our responsibility is there. For the club it's a good deal.
"It's not changing our priorities to be competitive. We must be the same. Strong development with the players.
"I am confident and positive. The players we are signing are good players. We need to get balance with experience and players with huge potential.
"Of course, I want to keep some players, the ones who help us to be successful. But I accept it because I have experience before in the same situation.
"I expect to continue to do special and different ways. The objective is to get progressively in the same way. We will need time."
