Lucas Digne

Lucas Digne of Aston Villa was born in Meaux, France on 20 July 1993 (age 32).

Lucas Digne, born on 20 July 1993 (age 32), is a French left-back with Aston Villa, where he wears number 12 and remains a regular part of the first-team picture in 2025-26.

His most productive league campaign came at Everton in 2018-19, when he scored four goals in 35 appearances. That season showed the attacking side of his game without turning him into something he is not: a full-back whose value has mostly been in reliability, delivery and experience rather than noise.

At Villa, Digne has kept his place in a busy season. He has made 31 Premier League appearances, two in the FA Cup and 11 in the Europa League, taking him to 44 appearances in all competitions, without scoring. He has also remained involved with France, making three European World Cup qualifying appearances this season.

His current market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt. Digne’s career is that of an established French international full-back who has stayed relevant at Premier League level into his early thirties.

Lucas Digne remained a regular part of Aston Villa's Premier League squad in 2025-26, making 31 appearances and 21 starts without scoring. The split between starts and substitute outings points to a managed role rather than an automatic every-week selection, but 11 Europa League appearances and two FA Cup outings show he was still trusted across the schedule.

Digne's career path has been consistently top-end, moving from Lille to Paris Saint-Germain, Roma on loan, Barcelona, Everton and Aston Villa. At 32, the profile is that of an experienced left back who has spent his senior career in major leagues rather than dropping down the level pyramid.

The transfer record shows steady upward movement through elite clubs, with listed fees of 13m to Paris Saint-Germain, 14m to Barcelona, 18m to Everton and 25m to Aston Villa. His current €12.00m market value suggests a natural age-related decline from peak resale value, but not a collapse in status.
