Middlesbrough have completed the signing of Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede for a fee believed to be in the region of £6million.
The 28-year-old has signed a deal which will keep him at the Riverside Stadium until June 2020 after agreeing personal terms on Tuesday.
Benin international Gestede made 19 appearances for Villa this season, scoring four goals, but had fallen out of favour with new boss Steve Bruce.
The signing casts further doubt on the future of Boro strikers Jordan Rhodes and David Nugent, with Fulham reportedly interested in signing the latter.
