Liverpool midfielder Elliott joined Villa on loan. The agreement contains a conditional mandatory buyout clause, with a total price of £35 million.
For joining Villa, Elliott said: "It feels great. First of all, I want to thank everyone who contributed to this transfer. Playing for a big club like Villa is the dream of every child, and I am glad that everything has finally settled and I can't wait to start a new journey."
"For me, the most important thing now is to continue to improve, and the only way is to play more games. This is undoubtedly the best place, especially the head coach's philosophy, his playing style and his trust in young players."
"Not only that, his personal achievements have attracted me deeply. I had a conversation with him and I was very surprised by his attitude towards me. He also welcomed me, which made me more eager to join Villa. "
" When you come to Villa, you can feel the enthusiasm of the fans and the team is very disciplined, which makes it difficult for the opponent to deal with us. To be one of them, I can't refuse this opportunity, and I'm very happy to be here."
For Emery, Elliott said: "I look forward to it very much, he is very enthusiastic, and even when I was not a player in Villa, he had already touched me. There was a strong feeling deep in my heart that I wanted to come here and play for him."
" In order to repay his trust in me, I will do my best to do my best and give it all on the court."
