The French left-back joined Villa fromEverton for up to £25m.
Digne asked to leave the club last week, after falling out of favor with the manager.
In a lengthy post, Digne admitted that he did not expect his time at the club to end his way.
Steven Gerrard said they jumped at the chance to bring Lucas to the club.
"Signing a player of his quality and experience in the January window is a great addition to our squad and his arrival excited me and everyone associated with Villa."
Marco Silva was the manager ofEverton when they signed Digne from Barcelona.
He scored six goals for the Goodison Park club.
Digne did not play for them since December.
Villa were successful in securing his signature after several clubs registered their interest in the left-back.
Digne wrote in his social media post that he was sad because of what had happened and what was said about him.
I won't enter a war on words with anyone.
I don't feel that I deserve that, the fans don't, and the club doesn't.
It only takes one person to destroy a love affair.
