He has three and a half year on his current contract with Frank Lampard’s side and due to the lack of playing time, opted to go on loan at Villa.
He was an unused substitute in Chelsea’s Carabao Cup exit away to Spurs on Tuesday night.
The 26-year-old England international, who has been capped 33 times by his country, has made 52 appearances for Chelsea in the Premier League and Champions League, since his transfer to Stamford Bridge in January 2018.

“Capturing a player of Ross’s quality is a real coup for our Club and I am certain he will thrive here and improve our team,” Dean Smith revealed.
Barkley burst into the Everton first-team aged 17 after graduating from their youth academy and he went on to net 27 goals from midfield in 179 appearances for the Toffees.
He will add much quality to Villa’s side following their brilliant start of the Premier League, winning their two matches, with the recent against Fulham in a 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage.
