Meanwhile, Villa midfielder Gary Gardner has completed a permanent transfer in the opposite direction for an undisclosed fee.
Gardner, 26, spent last season on loan at Blues but he has now signed a three-year contract at St Andrew’s.
“I worked with Jota at Brentford. He’s a superb, talented player and Birmingham signed him as their record transfer,” Villa boss Smith told the club’s official website.
“I’m really happy to have him back working with us. He’s got great ability, great balance and a great eye for both goals and assists.”
