Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran has completed a £64m move to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.
The Colombia striker leaves Villa Park to join Cristiano Ronaldo at the Saudi club having scored 12 goals in 29 appearances this season.
Al Nassr are understood to be paying just over £64m (€77m) plus bonuses for the striker, who was signed for around £15m from MLS side Chicago Fire FC two years ago.
Duran's move comes after Arsenal saw a bid rejected for Villa striker Ollie Watkins, who Unai Emery revealed on Friday is happy to stay at the club this season.
"Yes, he is happy to stay. We asked him how he is feeling and he is happy here," Emery said when asked about Watkins' future ahead of the game against Wolves.
"The commitment of Watkins is really a huge commitment to defend Aston Villa.
"He appreciates how Aston Villa was always supporting him and helping him. Also, when we joined two years ago, how we always tried to get the best of him."
