This move across the Midlands brings an end to Tielemans’ five season stay at the King Power Stadium after initially signing from Monaco on loan in 2019.
Tielemans made 31 Premier League appearances last season for the Foxes but could not help the side avoid relegation to the Championship.
The 26-year-old has had plenty of interest elsewhere in previous seasons with Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool all known to admire him.
He will now be playing European football at Villa Park with Emery bolstering his squad ahead of next season’s Conference League campaign.
Leicester also lost James Maddison earlier this week with the England international signing for Tottenham in a deal worth up to £40m.

Tielemans revealed Emery was a huge influence in his decision to sign for the club.
“To be honest, when I had a few chats with the manager, his ambition, his passion, and also the way he led the team impressed me and made me decide to come to Aston Villa.”
