Following Nottingham Forest’s elevation to the Premier League in the summer of 2022, there was considerable transfer interest in Moreno from Nottingham Forest.
His presence at Villa might force the club to recall Ludwig Augustinsson from his loan at Sevilla. The Sweden international has only played five matches in England since his arrival.
Moreno is anticipated to fight with Lucas Digne for the starting left-back position in Unai Emery’s team.
