Aston Villa officially announced:"It is pleased to announce the signing of Lewis Dobbin from Everton. "

The 21-year-old made his senior debut for the Goodison Park club in 2021 before spending the 2022/23 season on loan at Derby County.

Dobbin featured regularly in Everton's matchday squads throughout last season, scoring his first Premier League goal against Chelsea in December. 

The forward has also represented England at various youth levels.

Lewis Dobbin also confirmed the transfer and expressed his gratitude to Everton on social media: "So Happy To be Joining Such A huge Club With Big Ambitions. An Incredible Opportunity, I Can’t Wait To Get Started And Give My All For This Club. See You All At Villa Park! UTV💜🤍"

Everton added in a farewell statement on X (formerly Twitter): 'Everyone at #EFC would like to thank Lewis for his contribution, from his journey through @EvertonAcademy to Senior Team, and we wish him all the best for the future.'

Dobbin - who has been capped by England at U16, U17 and U19 levels - has 15 Premier League appearances to his name, but just one as a starter. He has been on the books at Goodison Park since he first joined the club's academy in 2014.
