Aston Villa handed Scotland international midfielder John McGinn a new five-year deal today, and despite already signing 12 players this summer, it is safe to say the Midlands outfit secured their best piece of business of the window today.
The 23-year-old hit the ground running at Villa Park upon arriving from Scottish Premiership side Hibernian last summer.
McGinn was handed a four-year deal, but has since seen his value skyrocket, and handing him an improved deal was pertinent.
The midfielder played a huge role in Villa’s top-flight promotion, scoring six goals in 41 Championship games – including the winner in the Championship Playoff Final.
