Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has completed his Al Nassr medical and is set to fly to Saudi Arabia.

Al Nassr are understood to be paying just over £64m (€77m) plus bonuses for the 21-year-old.

This deal is seen as an example of a new strategy to develop the Saudi Pro League.

The Saudis are now focused on singing young, developing players. They do not want to be regarded as a retirement home for ageing superstars.
