Lucas Digne News: Solid during start

Digne logged two crosses (one accurate) and one interception during Aston Villa's 0-0 draw Saturday against Newcastle United.

For the draw, only one of Aston Villa's players logged both an accurate cross and an interception, Digne. The 2024-25 Premier League's last month saw Aston Villa prefer using Ian Maatsen over Digne at left-back. Yet, the Villans prolonged his contract until 2028, seemingly because they see him as part of their long-term plans. It would not be surprising, considering his 2024-25 season includes 28 starts, 35 accurate crosses and 25 interceptions.
