Heaton played 19 times in the Premier League for Burnley last season and ended the campaign in good form as he impressed between the sticks for Sean Dyche’s side.
The England international suffered an injury which kept him out for the majority of the 2017/18 season, playing just four games for Burnley that year – but has now worked his way back into Gareth Southgate’s squad.
Heaton is now set to become Villa’s new first-choice goalkeeper, but who are the winners and losers from this deal? We have had a look…
