Aston Villa have confirmed Moussa Diaby's departure after the player completed a £50m move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad just a year after his arrival in the Midlands.
The 25-year-old was Villa's record signing when he moved to the club last year in a £52m transfer from Bayer Leverkusen and enjoyed a strong debut year in the Premier League.
Diaby has signed a five-year contract at the Saudi Pro League side and will link-up with his new team-mates in due course after completing a medical in Spain.
He leaves the Clarets after making 54 appearances for Villa across all competitions and scoring 10 goals, while providing nine assists as he slotted into Unai Emery's forward line.
