The England Under-21 international is Villa's third signing since their promotion to the English top-flight.

Smith's side broke their transfer record by signing Club Brugge striker Wesley for £22.5m and Anwar El Ghazi for £8m.

Haus proved his potential at Villa Park last season after he joined the club on loan in January.

Villa announced the news with a post on Twitter, which read: "We can confirm we have taken up the option to permanently transfer Kortney Hause from Wolves.

"The 23-year-old, who has represented England at Under-20 and Under-21 level, becomes the club's third signing since winning promotion to the Premier League. #OurHouse #AVFC."

Haus proved to be a huge hit in the heart of Villa's defence last term and was also used as a makeshift left-back.

He was under contract with Nuno Espirito Santo's side until 2021 after he signed a three-year contract extension.

But Villa were able to trigger a clause included in the loan agreement to secure his services permanently.
