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 first-team presence in 2025–26. His current market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came at Everton in 2018–19, when he scored four goals in 35 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his attacking output from full-back, though his game has generally been more about steady involvement than headline numbers.

At Aston Villa in 2025–26, Digne has made 31 Premier League appearances, along with two in the FA Cup and 11 in the Europa League, giving him 44 appearances in all competitions without a goal. He has also played three times for France in European World Cup qualifying this season.

Digne’s career has settled into that of an experienced top-flight full-back: established, still used regularly, and relevant to both club and country without needing much theatre around it.

Digne's career path moved through a strong European ladder: Lille to Paris Saint-Germain, a loan at Roma, then Barcelona, Everton and Aston Villa. That sequence reflected a player who reached elite-club level early, then settled into the Premier League phase of his career, where his 2025-26 workload still showed first-team relevance at age 32.
